Heraldic Arts and
Sciences: This page serves as an index to techniques used or described in these articles. Instructional links that support general articles--for instance, off-site instructions for performing the tent stich linked into the article on making the cup cover--are not repeated here. This is only an index of information actually produced by the author of this delightfully quirky site, Merouda Pendray, m.k.a. Elise (Elyse) C. Boucher. On to the techniques! Aiglets: To make simple metal aiglets, that is, simple metal ends, useful for laces and other such things. Much better than tape, knots, or melted polyester! Applique: Applique may include some small amounts of embroidery. Projects including this technique: A Heraldic Cotehardie for Fun!: Applique at its most basic. A Dress Within the Aesthetic: Large, multilayer applique featuring couched cording as the finishing technique. See also Heraldic Covers Without Rebinding and Pillow Cover with Embroidered Applique in Embroidery section. Beadwork: Veils, Jewelry, Subtle Badges: Survey article on accessories. See also Cup Covers in Embroidery Section. Embroidery: There are multiple articles regarding imbroidery. The following projects use embroidery: Cup Covers: Tent stitch Simple Heraldic Napkins: Tent stitch, cross stitch Heraldic Covers without Rebinding: Crewel Embroidery (mostly split stitch) Pillow Cover with Embroidered Applique: Crewel embroidery Two Embroidered Patches for Applique: Split stitch, stem stitch; silk on linen Faux Intarsia: A method of wood embellishment that imitates the look of intarsia or marquetry. Heat Pressing/Embossing Velvet: A simple technique for embossing stretch velvet. This is a modern technique, but it's fairly compatable with SCA projects if used judiciously. It's described in A Heraldic Cotehardie for Fun! Leatherworking: A Blank Tables Book: Tooling leather and binding it into a book cover. A Simple Heraldic Quiver: Simple stitching and simple applique of a canvas patch to leather base. Painting, on Canvas, with Oil Paints Painting, on Cloth, with Acrylics Painting, on Paper or Vellum, with Gouache/Tempera: The article specifically intended to be a part of the Heraldic Arts and Sciences series is here, but there is a plethora of instructional material on this via the links leading from this page. Painting, on Tile (or glass, other ceramics), with Low Fire Acrylic Enamels Painting, on Wood, with Caseins: The A&S Heraldry article is here, but the instructions for it are here. {Elyse Boucher} {Arts and Sciences Top} {A&S Heraldry} {Poopie the Pirate} {Help Support This Site}Copyright 2007 |
