Opus Anglicanum - repro how-to

Edited Post : Apologies!
The pictures blue-toothed in the reverse order, so I’ve rectified the situation.

Here is how I made the stitch.

Double the thread.

Bring  needle out at point A

Separate the threads, all the way to the needle’s eye

Take one or two threads, sew method, going backwards into the chain, like a back stitch.

Pull through, maintaining control all the way

Keep the threads apart using your fingers as a loom

Nearing the end...

Draw all the way through. Tension upwards, gently.

Then bring the threads down and tension downwards, according to stitch length uniformity.
Keep the threads from twisting at all times, especially at the start of a new stitch.
You can work up to a decent speed in this way.

Continue in this way until you reach 1cm
I was able to make 14 stitches.  I took one or two threads each time. If I’m working inner curves, I would halve the stitch length by tensioning upwards a little more, as I mentioned before.

I have used two layers of ground fabric.  This is the view of the back of the work

As you can see, there is nothing to see.  This corroborates my analysis from what I can see of the extant examples I have been studying,
that can be found here
in that only the first ground fabric layer of silk was stitched, as the linen underneath is not similarly pierced.

I hope to carefully stitch a reproduction face within the next 6 weeks.

* I have to cut myself some slack in my schedule as my DD has come to stay for 2 weeks.  She’s a lovely girl but tends to take over, if you know what I mean?  I will still post, but probably not every day.  I don’t know where to get tassel formers from, it looks like I shall have to use wooden eggs?  If I’m unable to post much needlework in the next couple of weeks, I’ll post drawings and history stuff.
I went to three museums that I haven’t discussed yet.  Plenty of goodies in store...
