Quatrefoil, 30 tablets. I used this pattern for a simple belt in silver and black. Knotwork. A number of variations on a basic knotwork pattern for 35 cards. More Knotwork. A couple of variations on a 26-card knotwork pattern. And more. A range of patterns in different widths (from 38 to 78 cards wide), all using a basic line width of 5 warp threads. Textura Quadrata (36 cards). I kept the ascenders quite short because I did not want to take up too much space with the letters. Textura Quadrata (48 cards). Similar to the script above, but I lengthened the ascenders and descenders to more traditional proportions. Textura Quadrata (60 cards). This is a large variation where all letters are the same height. A medieval example of this kind of compression can be found in Nancy Spies' Ecclesiastical Pomp and Aristocratic Circumstance. Textura Quadrata (60 cards). The script above has a 1-in-4 tie-down pattern; this one is a classier alternative with cross-like tie-downs. A proportional comparison of the sizes of the different textura scripts. Lions, based on motifs from the 11th/ 12th century chasuble of St Wolfgang. A variety of simple heraldic charges within a frame. I used these patterns in my examination of medieval brocade wefts. A 40-tablet wide castle motif. Anglo-Saxon style zoomorphic dragon motifs, using 36 and 46 tablets.
