Welcome

Greetings, I am Cristiana ingen Mec-Bead.

 

Since joining the SCA over 11 years ago ( I have lost count), I have had to opportunity to create many things through embroidery, clothing, cooking, etc. The unfortunate part is that I have rarely taken pictures of any of this work. I am now searching trying to get pictures of everything I do and make.

 

Cristiana is originally from  the Canton of Seashire, within the Barony of Ruantallan, East Kingdom, but now lives in the Shire of Orlova Dolina, in the Kingdom of Northshield. She enjoys cooking, costuming, embroidery and archery. Cristiana left  The Golden Oak Inn household(summer '10) and is now on watch with House Bloodguard and is proteged to Master Ætheric Lindberende

Blue Sun Linen Cote

This cote is the first cote that I didn't have issues putting in the sleeves. They always seem to give me a hard time. This dress has pewter buttons with the Ruantallan Baronial Arms on them. The dress still needs yellow tippet to finish it off.

I have beaded acorns for everyone in the household and them sew them onto arm bands. They have to add the fringe though.

I was asked by Mistress Gwenhwyfar to complete 3 of the beaded roses to be attached to a hood for Countess Geneviere. This was presented to her Excellency during the Coronation of Thorson and Svava, Oct 2004.

Here's my household heraldic dress that I made for Ruantallan's Investiture. It's made of yellow and green linen with acorn pewter buttons on the sleeves of the yellow and the front of the green cotes. The oak tree was appliqued by hand on the front of the green cote.

My Pelican, Master AEtheric, only received a pelican cloak and never received a cloak when he received his Laurel. So as a gift to him, I made him a Pelican/Laurel cloak. The wool that was felted in the previous pictures is what I used for the applique on the cloak. I presented it to him at GNE war a year after he took me on as a Protege

Their Majesties Andreas and Gabiella at EKU Ruantallan, March 2009. Myself and a few ladies (see group picture in next frame) made this garb for them for EK 12th Night. HL Estela drafted the patterns and I completed Gabriella's red under dress and the black over dress. The beading was completed by Lady Zelina and the smocked chemise by Lady Griet.

Here's the group of ladies that worked on the EK 12th night garb for their Majesties Andreas and Gabriella.

The Lady on the far right (my Mom) in the olive green silk noil cote hardie and Sideless surcote was also something that I created.

And no the baby in my arms is not mine, she had fallen asleep in my arms.

My good friend Wolfgar (mka Dave) asked me to make him new clothes for Coronation in Northshield. This is the applique on the tunic. There is one on either side of the front slit. I am hoping to get a good picture of him with the garb on to post here as well.

And here he is showing off the hose that I made him, as well as the gitch and the white linen under shirt. He's not wearing the over tunic that I made him here that the applique from the previous pictures is on.

Here I am at Wolfgar's knighting in Northshield. The gold surcote that I am wearing was at one point in time an Italian Ren skirt that I made years ago for Mistress Gwen's Pelican ceremony, I  only wore the once. So I took the skirt apart and then made it into a sideless surcote. It's made out of cotton brocade.
