Needleworkes

#3: Blackworked Chatelaine

03

Gold spangled, blackworked needlework set comprising a needlebook, scissors keep and fob, and pin keep, given to Baroness Jane Grenville (the Barony of Aneala).

They were worked with one strand of Madeira silk on linen, with real gold spangles. I made the tassels in Madeira silk thead and added faux ‘gold’ beads to the tassels.

The blackworked embroidery design was taken from the Jane Bostocke sampler, 1598.
