Blackwork Collar & Cuffs
In 2016 (AS XLX) I offered to make a set of blackwork collar and cuffs on behalf of the WCoB for King Steffan I .
I based my design on King Steffan’s personal heraldry:
Quarterly azure and Or, a griffin passant sable
between three crosses fleury counterchanged.
I used a navy blue Madeira silk thread on linen, and worked the griffin and crosses within an interlaced knotwork design. The knotwork was inspired and adapted from a similar knot found in the Jane Bostocke sampler (1598).
