I had a lovely fiber play date at Khalja’s place. I was warping up a new loom to weave a new vitta (Saxon headband). I had found Shelagh Lewin’s article on the Laceby band, which is from Laceby, Lincolnshire, around 600 AD. A Band from Laceby: An early Anglo-Saxon band from Lincolnshire, with additional motifs from the Maaseik textiles by Shelagh Lewins 2015. The Maaseik textiles referenced are 
thought to be Anglo-Saxon (Budny & Tweddle), and currently reside at the Kerk Sint-Catharina in Maaseik, Belgium. The motifs on the brocaded tablet woven bands included a vine with leaves that looked looked like it could work for laurel regalia. I think this is going to result in another terribly period, yet not blingy enough to read as regalia object. I’m having fun getting my new loom warped up and working through the mechanics of this new (to me) technique.
