![]() All seem workable, though we’ll see if the steel necklace cord works the way I want it to. These are all for my continued Norse kit. I also picked up a Mjolner/Hammer of Thor pendant, a Lunula (Norse & Slavic lunar symbol of femininity and fertility) pendant, some French wire, and some steel necklace cord. just to figure out what I’ll do with 40 left-over clasp bars! For other projects In looking at portraits, there seems to be a pretty wide variety between very small lacing rings with very little embellishment, and very large ones that are very ornate, but I think that these will work perfectly. In getting them, they’re pretty much perfect to me. I bought two packages of these clasps, each with 20 in each package, for lacing up my bodice. (Many of them were quite small, which I didn’t think would work.) Clasps I bought three packages of these end bars, with 6 in each package, for use of attaching sleeves to the bodice of my gown.Īfter looking at more portraits, I think I could have picked something a bit more embellished and decorative than these they’re a bit plain, but specifically I wanted something with two holes on it with which ribbon could pass, and there weren’t a lot of options in the size I also wanted. I likely will relegate these only to “stash” and not use them on this project. When I got the caps, I was disappointed – they will NOT fit on the 8-9mm beads correctly at all, they’re definitely meant for a significantly larger bead. The package was fairly inexpensive, so although I only would need a few, I opted to order. These were also for the necklace, since I knew I had bead caps at home, but not necessarily the right size or in gold-tone. For decoration/clothing embellishmentġ0x3mm flower-shaped bead cap, to fit beads 8-14mm, package of 50 I’ll be adding in direct hotlinks from the website for photos, so sorry in advance if any of the links break. I figured that I’d share what I ordered – mostly so that I have a reference back when I’m documenting my project – but I thought I’d share here in case anyone is interested. Pretty good – two other packages I ordered in the same time frame didn’t arrive until later. ![]() They’re located in Oregon (so presumably that’s where they ship from) and I received my package on January 6th. I placed my order on December 24th (yeah, not the best timing, but I finally had a chance to sit down and figure things out since I was working up until the 24th!). That’s usually great for me because I far prefer silver-tone, but for this project, I distinctly needed and wanted gold-tone findings that was a lot more challenging without shopping online. I decided to turn to online, and place an order with Fire Mountain Gems.Ī lot of what I already have in my “stash” or was finding in-store was silver-tone. Jewellery shops, fabric stores, notion-supply shops, bead shops anywhere I thought I could find some of the elements for my costumes I’ve been looking, but coming up (mostly) empty. While working on my 1480s Florence garb, I’ve been looking for a few things. Justina of Padua by Bartolomeo Montagna – 1490s Vicentine - Loving the embellishment and trim in this portrait
