This post is also the documentation I wrote for this piece of embroidery.
I decided to embroider this pouch because I wanted to show the orders in which I am a member of in a
fitting way. I decided on Or Nué, because it was a technique that I hadn’t tried before. Or Nué has
always seemed too complicated and hard to learn, but I wanted to try it. I decided to make a pouch
because it would be a useful piece where one can showcase embroidery. The two sides of the pouch
would give a perfect reason to make two different patterns on one piece. The most important reason is
of course the fact that a pouch is not a big item and can be finished in a reasonable time, even when the
technique used is time consuming.
The Panache pattern was pretty straight forward, I only used the prettiest heraldic feathers I could find. As the embroidery technique is fairly late period, I could take later period heraldry to take the feathers from. The Lindquistringe dragon is a bit more complicated. I took inspiration from the existing embroidered badge of the Order of the Dragon, now on display in the Bavarian National Museum in Munich, to make my own dragon pattern.
