Evening Boots
1885-1890
Probably French
While the slipper and the strapped shoe were the most common choice for evening wear in the last third of the 19th century, boots did occasionally continue to appear. As with shoes, the basic evening boot was satin, either plain or featuring an embroidered vamp, usually in floral or foliate designs. Surviving examples of evening boots of the late 19th and early 20th centuries suggest, however, that those daring to wear something already outside of the ordinary often opted as well for unconventionally bold and unusual materials and trimmings. This pair of boots typifies that phenomenon: anachronistic side-lacing, novel and atypically exuberant fret and scroll motifs, and embroidery covering the entire boot, including the heel.

Finished my TMA patch!!
Honestly not a massive fan of how it turned out- all the little webby bits got very fiddly after a while and I think you can see that I started being less careful with my stitches. But I’m glad it’s finally done, and I’m glad I have another one to put on my bag! Every time I look at it I’m like “there’s still too much empty space!!!” Lmao. When I finally finish it I’ll probably post it on here
Not sure what to make next- might go for a stranger style one with like a mask? Idk we’ll see lmao!

These are before he started putting himself and Addie (the doggo) into each one. I think my favorite is the one with the lavender fields but I'm also a big fan of the one with the stripey rocks =D

Update on the House Sturmvoraus embroidery!
Tumblr media
Chugging along, continuously undermining myself by making changes on the wings because 99/100ths of the way through them I pulled a me and started wondering if I should do a different stich. But not being able to decide what stitch.

Finished yesterday. Cross stitch for the frame and blackwork embroidery for the circular fills, on black 14-count Aida cloth.
While I feel like I've generally improved my project photography skills over the last few years, the contrast (or lack thereof) between DMC 211 and DMC B5200 in those smallest circles was A Trial.
Pattern here.

Progress on the unicorn and stag tapestry! It might not look it but I have completed all the coloured thread on the left quarter! Just needs filling with black (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)

Colours definitely not true to life, but done and dusted!
I swear I have to reinvent the wheel every time with French knots. I need three hands!
