Here is a lovely red Sprang Silk Sash by Carol James, the SashWeaver, from Manitoba and her description:
"I've been making replica sprang silk sashes. We're coming up on the anniversary of the War of 1812. De rigeur for military officers of 1812 is a silk sash.
One gentleman in particular is in the artillery, and wanted the sash to feature a cannon."
Isn't this fabulous?!
Carol has also woven a lovely sprang Coin Purse. She tells us:
"A few years back, Martyn Downer wrote a novel titled 'Nelson's Purse'. The book told the story of Admiral Lord Nelson, and included a description of his coin purse. I've been making replicas of those, too. Silk cording is the perfect material."
This is so clever!
