Below text from The Germanization of Early Medieval Christianity (Oxford University Press, 1996) by James C. Russell:
"The early medieval Germanization of Christianity, in most cases, was not the result of organized Germanic resistance to Christianity, or of an attempt by the Germanic peoples to transform Christianity into an acceptable form. Rather, it was primarily a consequence of the deliberate inculturation of Germanic religiocultural attitudes within Christianity by Christian missionaries. This process of accommodation resulted in the essential transformation of Christianity from a universal salvation religion to a Germanic, and eventually European, folk religion. The sociopsychological response of the Germanic peoples to this inculturated form of Christianity included the acceptance of those traditionally Christian elements which coincided with Germanic religiosity and the resolution of dissonant elements by reinterpreting them in accordance with the Germanic ethos and world-view."
In december I am going to the Archeon Midwinter fair. Given that it will be winter my Tessiël kit wil definitely be too light so I figured I would take Alexandra of Novgorod out for a spin.
However when I created Alexandra of Novgorod I had situated her as a 14th century Kievan Rus. For the midwinter Fair I want to go back four centuries and make her a Varangian Viking instead. The coat and pants are still okay for that especially if you don't look too closely at the construction of the coat but the tunics are a bit too obviously 14th century so this was an excuse to make a pair of Bocksten tunics with some urnes inspired embroidery (thank you @ilsa-makes-things for you drafting tutorial )
This is the first one.
💬 1 🔁 5 ❤️ 34 · Measure & Draft a Better Bocksten Tunic · Or, “Ilsa Overthinks Things, Part 983.” Alric’s Bocksten tunic tutorial was rev
I will also probably be adding one woolen tunic one cloak and some accessories like a a tablet woven belt, a sash and a belt bag.
Urnes style
One of the latest works in progress✨️
This is pretty much done! Handmade wall hanger from goat jaw 🐐 hand painted with urnes style Serpent with gold leaf. Handpainted script in elder futhark. Deerskin lace accent.
.
These lovely jaws are the last if the goat I have I've been loathe to use since last year🫣 I didn't want to use them unless it was something special! This will be available Thursday.

Inktober day 4. Another in my endless series of wormish experiments. Knotwork and tangled Urnes/norse-ish design stuff is relaxing to me. One of these days I’m gonna hafta start getting into doing this stuff in something sturdier than paper.
