Nowadays Dorset Buttons are decorative, rather than utilitarian items. They can be attractive in their own right and used by historic reenactors for their costumes or by needle crafters to use

Click here for the video that goes along with today's post. So, you have learned the basics of how to do blackwork embroidery. Now you're interested in creating your own historical patterns, but maybe don’t know where to start? First, you need to find historical blackwork embroidery designs. Here are links to some examples: "Sir Thomas More and Family" (portrait is at the Nostell Priory and is part of the National Trust Collection) "Portrait of a Boy with a Marmoset" portrait is at the Kunstmuseum Basel (Basel Museum of Art in Switzerland) "Jane Seymour" portrait is at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria 16th century Italian Sampler patterns 16th century German Blackwork patterns Then, decide which pieces of different designs that you like and which designs work well with each other. Also, decide what the exact item is that you will be embroidering, like a cuff versus a sleeve, to determine the size needed for your pattern. Keep in mind how big or small you want your finished piece to be. For example, on this sampler, I embroidered every third hole on the linen. The end result was a small, delicate looking sampler. However, if you embroidery every fifth hole like on this collar of a linen partlet, your design will be much larger. Keep this in mind when creating your design. Now it’s time to start piecing together your own design! On the first pattern, I combined the patterns found on the collar of James Stewart, Earl of Murray (his portrait is at Darnaway Castle) and the collar on the Portrait of a Boy with a marmoset found in the Kunst Museum in Switzerland. I also added my own flare to the center of each stem. On this second pattern, I combined the patterns found on the cuffs of Jane Seymour (her portrait is at the Kunst historisches museum in Vienna, Austria), a flower design from Bostocke Sampler (at the V&A Museum), and crosses from the German blackwork patterns found in Nicolas Basee’s New Modelbuch and Hans Hofer’s Formbuchlein. Once your design is complete, it is time to start embroidering! I look forward to your comments and will be happy to answer any blackwork embroidery questions you may have.

Nowadays, we can't even imagine our lives without photos. Many of us tend to capture each detail of our lives, from special occasions to the most ordinary moments. Cameras are used by all age groups, starting from little children who are curious about all the gadgets around them, through youth, adults, and finally, elderly people who want to keep up with technology and have the will to learn new things.
The Witch thrives on its damning details. It seems authentically claustrophobic and austere. Threats to faith take their toll. The untouched surroundings and natural lighting allow each period detail revelrous[...]
