Post-Gulf War, Lady Annabella tasked me with crafting a unique belt for her spouse, Sir Thomas, featuring a silver buckle they’d purchased. Despite limited knowledge about Sir Thomas’s personal tastes, I took on the challenge.
The Snartemono Belt
The Snartemono is a custom-made belt for Duke Yngvar inn Heppni, commissioned by Maestra Isabella Beatrice della Rosa. It’s crafted in silk, replicating a monochrome version of the ancient Snartemo V design, which originated in 550 CE Norway.
Øvre Berge inspired
I’ve modified a pattern by Randi Stoltz for self-practice in floatwork. Using 29 tablets, I wove a 149.5cm Silk band modeled after a 6th-century design.
Provost collar for Clydwyn
I’ve met Clydwyn at Gulf Wars 2023, and we agreed to a weaving exchange. The woven piece, inspired by a 13th/14th century cingulum from Halberstadt, features silk and metallic threads.
Apprentice belt

A tiny test + side quest
Testing out the first pattern I’ve drafted years ago.
Modern fishies and a Karelian band for a Jaravellir
To celebrate Jararvellir’s 50th anniversary, I created two woven bands inspired by their heraldry using a Sulawesi technique and Finnish Iron Age method.
Kingdom A&S entry
My attempt at recreating a 7th-century Merovingian Queen’s intricate silk tablet-woven band, originally found on the remains of Queen Bathilde at the monastery of Chelles. I’ve tried to replicate the weaving techniques, materials, and designs, making few adjustments to accommodate her resources and avoid inappropriate symbols.
So, you decided to tablet weave
This is the handout for my introduction to tablet weaving class. It is usually given out with an already warp and ready to weave project.
Chivalry belt
I’ve created a belt for my Knight, inspired by a piece from King Philip of Swabia and elements from the 15th century cod. Pal. Germ 551. Despite being my first brocaded piece, it was well received and expected to be cherished.
