Griffin pillow

Finally something not patterned by *black-lupin
I found this here, worked by Mathilde Eschenbach: [link] which she had in turn taken from Vinciolo's Singuliers et nouveaux pourtraicts, apparently. I didn't have time to do the full design because this was a present for a friend at Ren Faire, but I'm keen on it and will probably stitch it again.

ETA: Found the actual pattern a million years later, here: [link] There's several other fetching patterns on this site that I'd like to do later.
