[MR] Calontir Kingdom Copes are Done!

[Hrothny]

Wow! Look at all that handwoven, hand-dyed stuff...

The SCA Kingdom of Calontir has been working on a new set of coronation
copes for about 3 years. They are now done and are being shown on these two
websites - the first site has a good set of "overview" pics, the second sit
has close-ups. These are inspiring.

To quote from the message that brought it to my attention:
" All the heraldry pieces were done in hand dyed silk.  The bodies
of the copes are handwoven wool.  All the trim and cording was
handwoven card or inkle loom and I think a little luceting, using
more silk.  The lining for the copes and base fabric for the orphrey
strips are purchased silk."
