The OA week has provoked some more blogging, not only here. Doug has posted a longish article about OA publishing concepts that sound a lot more reasonable than the ones I ridiculed yesterday. And one before that, with a lot more information about free or affordably-priced OA journals, and links to said journals. Go read it here.
In other news, I'm still busy editing (the Beast is losing words - it's like a book diet!) and also preparing for the Textile Forum. Additionally, I am thinking about offering an embroidery set for doing a small medieval motif, about 4 cm in diameter. I would like to offer that as a complete package with cloth (that has the pre-inked design), naturally dyed silk thread, maybe gold thread, short instructions and possibly also a small (non-medieval, but affordable) embroidery frame. Suggestions as to motifs would be greatly appreciated!

Keltic knots and of course the jaja bat.
The Göss Vestments have many interesting embroidery motifs. I used a couple of them to embroider a pin cushion.
Manuscript marginalia are awesome, but I'm not sure about the copyright issues since you want to sell the patterns. Maybe medieval tiles* are less covered by copyright - at least if you photograph them yourself?
