Netted medieval tassels
|
These tassel heads are a work-in-progress; an attempt to work out the method of creating a two-colour netted tassel top, as found on two chemise-bound books from 1504. One, The Foundation Charter of Henry VIIs Chapel at Westminster (PRO, London E.33/1), was shown at the Gothic Exhibition at the V&A. You can read more about my experiments at my blog |
