    12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon – sneak peek.24 – Endspurt!

    2014/06/17

    And again new progress concerning my “12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon” embroidery. 😀 *Wow* Filling the second blue border with this medieval embroidery technique takes nearly forever but I am definitely not giving up. Despite all this never ending rows of small stitches and the awfully slow progress, I already made good progress on this last part of the embroidery. I am very confident of being able to finish this border and furthermore this embroidery project during the next days. 🙂 …and here two pictures of the recent progress of my medieval embroidery project for you. The blue border is the result of several very busy embroidery evenings – enjoy! 😀

    It took many long hours but I just completed another important part of my embroidery. Yes, I finally finished the work at the first border of my “12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon” embroidery. 😀 As you can see on the picture underneath, a yellow border gently enframes my archangel Saint Michael now. Not only that, I also managed to finish the last part of the dragon. I added the last missing part of the dragons tail and completed the dragon. 🙂 …and here the picture with the recent progress of my medieval embroidery project for you – enjoy! 😀

  • Ive bought two items from her workshop(hood and custom bag). Both were beautiful and high quality. I received so many compliments during Gulf Wars about my hood. The quality of her work is almost unmatched and is super easy to work with. I came with a jumbled idea for my bag and she worked wonders. Will definitely be buying again!

  • positive review  I recently bought a run of octopus print fabric from Racaire’s Workshop. The piece is beautiful and it’s always a pleasure to business with a fellow artist. Anna’s attention to detail is amazing.

    positive review  Racaire makes wonderful things, she even takes on the Herculean task of dressing ME up pretty and makes it look easy. Anyone who has seen me at an event the past three or four years has seen her work. Not only is it beautifully made, it's durable enough to wear for heavy combat! Win-win!
