2018 Birka Garb Challenge

Each year the reigning Queen sets a theme for a garb challenge. This year it was to use the Kingdom colors of Gold/Yellow and Blue and incorporate our Rampant Tyger. This was my entry.




I stuck with the 11th - 12th century style I prefer, the sleeves were lined with some coordinating material.



Each point of lace had to be hand tacked down so that it did not flop over and look messing.



I made a coordinating necklace because - why not?


During my Christmas visit to Arkansas I embroidered a Tyger outline on one side of the veil then hand beaded the entire edge. 

And finally, I added bows to my shoes to match.
