12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon – sneak peek.7 – Saint Michaels red shield :)

…and again new embroidery progress concerning my current medieval embroidery project: “12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon“.

The shield of Saint Michael is nearly finished and I also made very good progress concerning the background. I love how the red and purple of the shield work together. This colors also work well together with the outlines of the shield and the color of the background as you can see on the next pictures…

…and before I bother you with more text of how Saint Michaels shield turned out, please take a look yourself at the new progress pictures I have for you – enjoy! 😀

…and another picture after more hours of embroidery: 

As you can see on the picture above, I am already done with the green background in the bottom right corner. Now I need to think about the colors I want to use for Saint Michael…

…and another close-up picture of my Split Stitch embroidery for you:
