abendgulesAt Coronation in January HE Eleanora gave me a box of Pelican tokens made by Lord Vrank in Frankmark.
I finally finished a hood (actually this was me refurbishing a hood that was given to me - new silk lining, new shoulder and back gores to widen it, new front opening instead of pullover, new cloth buttons and - cheating - I attached a length of fingerloop braid on the edge of the opening for 'buttonhole' openings) and stitched them on.
It proved warmer at Crown than I expected, so most of the day I wore the green gown and undergown without the plum surcoat, and the hood over the veil. For the procession I wore my heraldic cloak.
I hadn't realised just how much the gold silk glows in certain lights.
