Greensleeves Project update for World Embroidery Day.
There are a few embroidered items among the gifts presented to Greensleeves in the song, including "a smock of silk, both faire and white, with gold embrodered gorgeously"
The wonderful Juliet Braidwood is working on the smock, embroidering it with black silk and gold thread, using designs taken from contemporary sources. This photograph shows part of her work on a rose, taken from a detail on Nicholas Hilliard's 'Pelican' portrait of Elizabeth I, c1575.
The Greensleeeves Project is supported by The Society of Antiquaries of London
