Pennsic Wrap -Up In Brief

I taught at Pennsic. :D

The following page will take one to the class notes I handed out:16th Century English Monochrome Embroidery.

This document also contains the appendices of all of the extant 16th century English monochromatic embroidered pieces I've found. A quick-and-dirty analysis of the data reveals roughly 80% of the pieces are uncounted, versus 20% possibly counted. More information on my observations is found in the class notes.

I hope this challenges the way we've been thinking about "blackwork". Please feel free to contact me with any questions or suggestions! I welcome all correspondence on this topic. :)
