Tegin selle lõpuks ära - nüüd on mu töönurgake ka täitsa ametlik firma - Alendreia Meistrikoda OÜ! Põhiliseks leheks saab olema facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Alendreia/ - kuid pikemaid jutte jään siiasamma kirjutama.
P.S. Käsil on mul üks suurem projekt, mis hõlmab nii kahte komplekti rõivaid kui ka uhket keskaegset pidusöömingut, aga sellest pikemalt augustis!
**********************************************************
I finally did it - my corner is now an official company - Alendreia's Workshop Ltd! Main page of the company shall be its facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/Alendreia/ - but longer stories I will still be writing here.
P.S. I am in a middle of a very interesting bigger project which includes clothesmaking and a very fancy medieval feast, but more about that in August!

Virunuka vol 2
I did it again - my second weaving of the Virunuka belt. It is one of the oldest tablet woven belts found in Estonia. It is dated to the 12th-14th century.
First time I wove it, I wasn't yet at the level of creating my own patterns, so I asked for the help of a friend, who was much better at it - Julia Amor. The pattern can still be found on her home page - http://www.yrmegard.net/ee/tablets/patterns/tw_artefact_pattern_02. 38 tablets are needed for the patter: 4+4 for the edges, which all have yarn in each of the 4 holes, and 30 for the pattern, which have 1 red and 1 black yarn in them.
First time I wove it was in 2007, pictures here - https://alendreia.blogspot.com.ee/2007/08/virunuka-v.html. At that time, I didn't find yarns with proper thickness, the ones I found were a lot thicker than the original, so the belt I made is almost 2 times wider than the original. I also didn't stick to the original colors, which are red and black, my 2007 version is yellow and blue. This lead me to try it one more time.
This time I found a lot thinner yarn and chose the same colors as the original. To be honest, besides that, the first attempt was better: the first meter of the belt went pretty well, but then the yarn started braking - I used a technique well known to fabric weavers to continue the broken warp yarns. The other problem was, that I didn't make the belt in one continued weaving spree like the first time - this resulted in the width not being as equal as I would like.

Naelbinden scarf / nõelkootud sall
As a christmas present for K I made a naelbinden scarf - 2ply merino wool - it came out really nice and airy, but at the same time warm. I finished the edges with the same kind of braiding as the gloves in the previous post.
Jõulukingiks K'le tegin nõelkootud salli. Materjaliks 2kordne merinovillane lõng - tuli väga mõnus õhuline, aga samal ajal soe. Ääred viimistletud samasugune palmikuga kui eelmises postituses olevad kindad.

Nalbinden gloves with multicolored braid /mitmevärvilise palmikuga kindad.
A pair of gloves, with the medieval "Spock hello" shape, decorated with a multicolored braid, inspired by Mervi Pasanen - http://hibernaatio.blogspot.com.ee/2011/10/miten-tehdaan-lettikoriste-how-to-make.html. I do understand the problem described in step nr 5, but fortunately I didn't have a dog to "help", + I believe it is easier to avoid it, when there are different color yarns in play.

Nõelkudumine/Nalbinding
Sai lõpuks tõsisemalt ette võetud nõelkudumine, mida küll veidi enne tehtud, aga siiski suhteliselt vähe. / I finally got more seriously into nalbinding - I have done it before, but not very much.
Esiteks sai valmis paar pajalappe, Brodeni pistes. /First a pair of potholders, in Broden stitch.

Keskaegne uhkem meeste kuub, nr 2 jm / A fancier medieval men's coat, no. 2 etc
Viimane suurem projekt oli Pusa keskaegselt (14. saj päris lõpp, 15.saj algus) riidesse saamine, et saaksime Taani keskaja keskuse 25. juubelile minna. Kuna ta on põhiliselt tegelenud muu ajastuga, siis oli põhimõtteliselt vaja talle kõik nullist teha. Vöö ja nööbid tellisime Lorifactoryst, kõik riided on minu tehtud ning vöökoti ja jalanõud tegi Pusa ise - taolisi asju on temalt ka minu kaudu võimalik tellida. Kuub on ilusast tumesinisest kalevist punase siidsatiinvoodriga.
My last biggest handicraft assignment was getting my boyfriend dressed in high medieval clothes (end of 14th century - beginning of 15th). Since his main focus so far has been on other periods I basically had to make everything from zero. All the clothes he is wearing are made by me, the belt and buttons on the coat were ordered from Lorifactory and the pouch and boots he made himself. He can also make that kind of things on order, contact through me. The coat is made of good quality dark blue wool with a red silk satin lining.

Telk nr. 2 / Tent no. 2
Tuli meelde, et ma vahepeal (2013) õmblesin ka endale lõpuks telgi. Pilt ei ole kõige parem, aga konstruktsiooniliselt on tegemist samagsuguse teliga kui see esimene, millest siin kunagi pildid olid, material lihtsalt teine. Erinevalt kõigest muust minu tehtust on selle juures enamus tehtud 19. sajandist pärineva singerimasinaga, mitte käsitsi - minu ranne lihtsalt ei elaks käsitsi telgiõmblust üle. / I just remembered that I actually made myself a tent 3 years ago. The picture might not be the best, but it is basically the same kind of tent that I have pictures of here already, just different fabric. Unlike everything else on this blog, this has been sew with a machine - a 19th century Singer, but a machine nonetheless. My broken wrist just couldn't handle making a tent by hand.

Projekt: uhkem kleit /Project: fancy dress
2013 sai ette võetud teha endale korralikum uhkem kleit, mis käiks minu sinnamaani uhkema pruunika kleidi peale. Silma olid hakanud erinevad mustrid kleidiäärtel, mille ümber kleiti üles sai hakatud ehitama. Soovitud ajavahemikku sobituvaid konkreetseid mustreid leidsin vähe ja nii said kaelaaugu, varukaotse ja kleidi alumise ääre tikandid tehtud järgmiste maalide põhjal. / In 2013 I started making a nicer fancier dress. I had seen some patterns on the edge of dresses on a number of medieval paintings and wanted to make something like that - that is where the dress started evolving from.The paintings with that kind of patters from the exact time period I wanted to make were not very plentiful so the embroidery on the edges of the dress was based on the following paintings:
 |
| 1334 Taddeo Gaddi, Triptühhon |
 |
| 1415-20, Nürnberg, Meister der Deichsler Altars |
Ja kuna see kleit pidi minema mu nööbitud varukatega kleidi peale, siis pidid nööbid ju näidatavad olema. Muidugi pidi piisavalt ruumi tikandi näitamiseks olema, nii et kleidi lõige sai võetud järgmiste maalide järgi. / And since the dress was supposed to go on a dress with buttoned sleeves, they had to show from under it. Of course there also had to be place for the embroidery to actually show, so the cut of the dress was based on the following paintings.
 |
| Christine de Pisan, 1410-14, Paris - Pygmalion and Venus |
 |
| Christine de Pisan, 1410-14, Paris - Diana and maidens hunting |
 |
| 1395-1400 Gentile da Fabriano, Thronende Maria mit dem Kind |
Kokku tuli küll väike kompott allikatest, aga ise olen tulemusega vähemalt rahul. / It ended up as a mix of sources, but at least I am myself pleased with the result.
