Some time soonish, I'd like to make a period correct leash and collar for Miss Ginsie. Although a bit of rope and some sort of leather harness around the neck was used (http://www.wga.hu/art/zgothic/miniatur/1451-500/21griman/12months.jpg), I really like the armband method as well: http://www.wga.hu/art/zgothic/miniatur/1451-500/21griman/08months.jpg

The armband, around the upper arm, with a rope that connects to the dog's collar, would leave my hands free but still keep Miss Ginsie from running up to people 50 yards away while setting land speed records. I really REALLY like this idea. It doesn't look like it would be hard to construct -a typical leather dog collar would work for Ginsie and I can use some re-inforced trim for my arm band...and I have rope....

I finished sewing all the tiny gears on to the upper trim of the bodice and I'm tea-dying the bodice trim right now because white just will not work even if it has silver in it. Did you know the old lipton cold brew stuff works incredibly well for tea dying? After all, I can't stand the taste of it but I didn't want to throw it away because I figured it could have a use someday and...it does! Tea dying! So I don't have to use the teas I actually like!

Pictures tomorrow of the trim and the dress as it's progressed so far...
