My Laurel's Pelican Hood.

My Laurel - Mistress Nest Verch Tangwistle, was elevated to the peerage of Pelican at the K&Q Archery Championship.  Debated on what to make.  Ended up making her an early period Viking hood out of Blue Linen.  The seams are all finished in Gold Silk embroidery. Mistress Nest colors are Blue and Gold.

I embroidered a Pelican in a laurel Wreath (to symbolize she is a Laurel and a Pelican)  It is done inm silk thread, split stitch, on linen.  This was then applicated onto the hood.  Do not have a final picture, but here are photo of the other parts 

Pictures do no show the deep blue color of the linen.
