Ah, another fine-looking soldier from Praesidium! Where do you guys get your clavi and orbiculi from?

Cheers, Robert. Big Grin

We're using a variety of techniques at the moment: for quick & cheap handmade looks at a distance, (v. good for 'work' tunics that live under armour, some are painting them and similarly some have plain roundels with tablet weave.

Mine is machine woven geometric Greek key & floral patterns, sewn on and our member Venedotius is producing many tunics with a variety of machine woven figural designs similar to the Victoria & Albert collection, mostly sourced serendipitously from textile suppliers who happen to have appropriate designs - mine was from a random cloth shop in North Shields I wandered into after visiting Arbeia. This is becoming the new standard.

A few of us now have hand-embroidered tunics and at least one has been completed in an authentic frame-woven manner by our member Sabina - it's a thing of great beauty.

This is my next project. Have been collecting tapestry weaving hobby books to teach myself the basics.

Whatever suites you, it's not a problem, it wouldn't be nice if the note was high pitched but at the tone you were playing it was fine, the sound's very nice imo, quite rich and pleasant to listen to.

Why laugh? You need a new avatar though.
