Morning Modelbuch (11/28/2019)

Late 16th century British piece with metal thread on satin. It’s made up of 4 different fragments. The flowers and insects are fun. (Don’t miss the little bird that almost blends into the background.) Accession Number:20.93.2a?d https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/220676

Flower slips are more apt to be inspired by the travelogues and botany books that were starting to be published, but there are also some lovely blossoms in _La Pratique de l’Aiguille_ published in 1605 by Matthias Mignerak. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/354009
