A Beautiful Swedish Frilled Veil

 Medieval Silkwork is one of my favorite blogs.  It covers an impressive array of articles and finished photos regarding many finished period projects.  They made the fantastic frilled veil pictured below:

Red and White Wool and Linen Medieval Hood

This hood is a fantastic hand-sewn example of a medieval wool hood from the 13th-14th century.  The buttons were hand cast pewter, with the lining made from linen.  What a great inspiration piece!

Blue and White Wool and Linen Medieval Hood

I found this photo on flickr of a pretty blue wool hood with cloth buttons done in the period style, hand sewn facings and a linen lining.  I would love to know where I can source documentation regarding the use of contrasting colored cloth buttons on 13th - 14th century clothing.  I have seen painting documentation of the top stitching done in contrasting colors, and will post the painting when I run across it again.
