Morning Modelbuch (2/27/2019)

I like the unexpected blue in this strip of cutwork. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/215421

The pattern is one of many with the star. It is another motif, like yesterday’s bird, that shows up in ancient Coptic textiles and continues as an integral part of embroidery patterns. It turns up on a lot of pages, many of which I’ve already shared. This particular one is from Peter Quentel’s _Eyn New Kunstlichboich_ dated 1529. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/354657
