#16th century
Sail Away
This device at the end of a collection of sermons printed in Nuremberg, 1562 by Christoph Heussler has a decidedly steampunk feel to it!

Last week I had to stay home sick from work and I figured, when is there a better time to work on a new project?? So behold, a short renaissance houppelande with scalloped dagging on the sleeves. It’s made from blue wool, purple upholstery velvet and lined with a black and blue floral brocade. I also think the little square buttons are super cute. I only wish I had about 10 more to add to it.
All up this project took me about 11 hours to make and it’s probably the most professional looking thing I’ve ever produced. Needless to say, I’m a bit proud of myself.
Also, bonus blue leather belt with hand stamping and renaissance buckle and decorated hat, both of which I made the weekend before. I’m so happy to be feeling inspired enough to make things again!
Today is Toninho’s birthday, so I thought I should give him the spotlight for once. But then I remembered that it’s Valentine’s Day in two days, so here he is with Charles I of Spain (aka Holy Roman Emperor Charles V) and Isabel de Portugal, who were said to forget about everyone else when they were in each other’s presence.
These two had their honeymoon at the Alhambra (for nine months!) and legend has it that Charles gave Isabel a carnation, which she loved so much that she asked for hundreds of carnations to be planted there. And of course, now it’s the national flower of Spain. I don’t know if it’s related, but I find it really sweet.

Manuscript title: Silver Book of the Land Manuscript summary: On 86 leaves of parchment, the Silver Book of the Land contains the statutes of the entire region of Appenzell. It is an assemblage of older legal texts; at a later time more recent statutes were added to it. Following the division of the region of Appenzell that took place in 1597, the book became the property of the Canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden and remained valid into the 19th century. Rich decorations consisting of miniatures and initials indicate the great importance attributed to this volume.
