#9-15: Seven Pelican Cloak Pieces

07

One of the Worshipful Company of Broderers (WCOB) of Lochac’s projects is the creation of the Pelican Cloak – a ceremonial cloak worn during the investiture of new members to the Order of the Pelican. It features the devices of all the members of the Order, with pieces worked by the members of the Company, the Order of the Pelican and other willing hands.

They are done in tent stitch, worked with Madeira silk on linen canvas. I have been delighted to have been able to help with this project, and so far have stitched seven devices for the cloak.
