Had lots of fun recreating a #carolingian dress inspired by the #stuttgarterpsalter Also nice to be able to recycle an old dress from a different periode. #reenactment #earlymedieval #medievalsky

Yep! Goede keuze om dit boek te bestellen van @drdragases.bsky.social Lekker leesbaar en voor mij als leek een opheldering hoe de #merovingers op het #vroegemiddeleeuwen strijdveld opdoken. #medievalsky #franken

Winterproject: Based on the Stuttgarter psalter (Württembergische Landesbibliothek Stuttgart, Bibl. fol. 23) I am working on a Carolingian dress. Here I’m working on the neckline.

I am sick to the bone by all the authoritarian lies. Need to be more in my garden, hands in the ground 💚
