Morning Modelbuch (7/10/2019)

This 16th century Italian piece is interesting. It’s done in multiple colors of silk on net. While I’ve seen this style of pattern worked up as a weaving draft and as monochrome embroidery on solid fabric, this is a bit different. Always exciting to see an alternate approach to a pattern.
