Black Duchess Coronet

Duchess Sedalia commissioned a second coronet, she had some great design ideas and this is what I did with it. It is one of my favorites, so striking and spiffy! "Black Duchess Coronet", Acrylic and artificial jewels on Leather.

Silver Quills Coronet

New coronet, this commission was for a somewhat simple coronet. They have silver quills on their Arms and wanted them on the coronet. The red stones and the subtle secondary stones (which are dark brass half pearls) where what the client wanted. I think it came out nice. 22 1/4, Leather, Acrylic and artificial stones and pearls.

Dragonfly Coronet

A friend was just made a court Baroness for her years of scribal work. Great and well deserved (now they need to give her the Peerage she is over due for). I was asked to do a coronet for her and she and I talked about what she wanted. Her makers mark is a dragonfly and her colors are silver and green. So I did a Malachite looking base with silver filigree dragonfly and vine work that almost every scribe should recognize. I am very pleased with how this came out. Lots of detail (a shadow under every edge of silver). This is 23 inches around, Leather, Acrylic, metallic silver paint and artificial gems and pearls.

 

Silver and Blue Personal Coronet

I did this for several reasons: I needed a new coronet, I wanted to do something to get back into getting art done, and I wanted something to use on my business card for coronets (not sure this will be what I use). It took way longer than it should have, It is 22 inches around, Leather with Acrylic and imitation jewels and pearls.

Silver and Green Laurel Coronet

This is the newest coronet I was commissioned to do. It is for Bishop Jeffrey (sp) an old friend who requested a simple silver coronet with green square stones (I suggested the laurels and he agreed). "Silver and Green Laurel coronet", 22 1/4, Acrylic and imitation stones on Leather. (The green in the stones does not show up well in my bad photos).

Golden Trees Coronet

I was commissioned this year at Pennsic to do a coronet with trees on it. The person it is for has a gold tree on his Arms and his colors are black, gold and green. The stones I had in green I at first was not all the fond of, but seeing them in this coronet and seeing how close to Peridot they are, I now like them a lot. This came out a bit different than I expected but it is a very spiffy looking coronet in my opinion. Just a bit of Celtic and slightly Elvish in look. Leather, Acrylic metallic gold and glass stones, 23 3/4 x 2 1/2.

Windhaven Coronets

I was commissioned to make a pair of new coronets for the Barony of Windhaven in Northshield. The original plan was to do the serpent in each blue circle surrounded by a laurel, but due to the size of the circles the serpents would be just to tiny, so we modified the idea to alternate serpents and laurels. The serpent, which has a specific heraldic name I can't remember, is the main charge on their Baronial arms.

I tried some new techniques on these like using leather lace to do the edging. It came out well but not perfect, but for a first time I think it worked. I only have pictures of one of these since they are identical except one is bigger around than the other. "Windhaven Coronets", 23 and 23.5 inches around, leather with Acrylic and imitation jewels.
