    Lazarus mi-parti linen tunic for Count Tristan Greymane – King of The Burning Lands (Amtgard)

    2020/11/15

    Now that it was presented to the public I am very excited to reveal my most recent, very special creation: A Lazarus mi-parti linen tunic for Count Tristan Greymane, King of the Burning Lands (Amtgard). I was very honored to be entrusted with this special creation and absolutely thrilled how lovely it turned out. But enough about me, please let me present to you Count Tristan Greymane & some great garb pictures taken by his beautiful and very talented lady Duchess Kat!

    Thoughts on mastering medieval embroidery

    2020/08/30

    Some people once told me that if I wasn't so nice, they would have to hate me because of my talent. I agree, talent is nice but talent is just one thing and it only gets you to a certain point. To understand a craft fully, one has to allow oneself to imerge into the desired field completely. But what does that really mean?

    Blockprinting & stamp cutting – my new obsessions…

    2020/01/14

    Some of you might be wondering what else I was up to besides my move from Kentucky to Florida and then our final move into our new home. Well, I would say that I embraced two new art forms completely – blockprinting & stamp cutting. And if I may say so, I think I got pretty good at it.

    …a little 7th to 9th century doll tunic…

    2019/12/28

    Have you ever wondered what kids played with centuries ago? Pictures of toys from the very last centuries are available in quite an abundance but they get more and more rare the further you go back in time. Therefore you might very well imagine my great joy when I found this lovely little doll tunic from the 7th to 9th century on display at the Bode Museum.

    Bode Museum – Sprang hairnet from the 5th century

    2019/12/26

    Sprang is an old technique that got several of my friends very excited recently. And as I have a certain love for interesting and rare things, I remembered a wonderful example from the 5th century on display at the Bode Museum in Berlin, Germany. I had the great pleasure to get to see and photograph this beautiful piece during my visit in 2014 and hope you’ll enjoy it too:

    …and I am back again…

    2019/12/25

    When I decided to take my break last year, I really didn’t anticipate that it would be such a long one. To call the last months interesting, would be definitely an understatement. We moved from Kentucky to Florida, I started my very own little business, we found our very own home and moved again and my website went through quite a change, as you can see. The move from Kentucky to Florida was probably the most demanding part. Like with every move we had to decide which pieces were really worth taking and what to leave behind. Therefore we decided to donate a lot of things as a moving truck…

    …the start of a 12th century printed silk tunic project :)

    2018/04/01

    Wooohooo! I finally started the 12th century printed silk tunic project for my sweetheart! And you find me quite excited as I was preparing for this very special project for some time now. You might have already been wondering about all the new 12th/13th century inspired block printing stamps which I created during the last months. After finishing the last stamp we were finally able to put the new block printing stamps to good use.

    Incredible customer service skills and communication. I ordered a set of placemats and a table runner and after 6 months of daily use they show no signs of wear and are still vibrant and beautiful!!

    positive review  I'm blown away by the block printing on the scarf I received. The colors are vibrant, the fabric is soft, and the pattern matching is perfection. Racaire was quick to respond, and updated me along the way. My scarf was packaged beautifully, and I felt like I was opening a present. 100% will order again. ❤
