#42: Lochac Arts & Sciences Champion’s Pouch
In the Kingdom of Lochac, the annual Kingdom A&S Champion receives an embroidered pouch:
“Azure, a candle enflamed within an arch stooped surrounded by 4 mullets of six points argent”.
Three gold hawk bells are to be attached at the bottom, and the year of the Championship won is embroidered on the back.
I offered to make a pouch for the ASXLVI Champion, Duena Catalina de Gata.
I chose to couch gold and silver threads with silk onto dark blue cotton velveteen, and added gold spangles for extra sparkle. I’m not sure what the metallic threads were as they were from my stash, but they worked well and I was pleased with the effect. The cords are simple twist-plied threads.
