I got a chance to look at the pages and pages and pages of inspirational research she had last summer (and am honored that she let me geek out over it). She spoke earlier this year about naalbinding at a conference at the Centre for Textile for Research in Copehagen (she has a link to her session on her blog). I highly recommend taking a look at her new page if this art interests you!
This topic frequently comes up amongst both my fibre arts and my SCA/Viking Age friends. People often ask me what the history is, and my research in this area is very limited, but I absolutely need to share Anne Marie Decker's (Magistra Sigrid Briansdotter in the SCA) work, and new blog, on the topic. https://nalbound.com/

Today a received an email from a woman named Beth that assists with a children's library reading group. She said they have covered a viking story in their readings and now the children are very interested to learn more about the history of the Norse people. To help learn how they dressed, they have researched things here on my site. This absolutely delights me! Beth also told me that one of the young ladies in the group, named Audrey, has been researching on her own and came across some information on viking age teeth and health she wanted to get the information she found shared as well and I am happy to do that for her: https://smilesincluded.com/viking-teeth-and-health/ I also had a strong interest in history (and historic dress) when I was growing up so I am happy to give a shout out to these kids who are eager to learn as well!
