12th century belt for my 12th century wedding dress – pearl embroidery .3

2016/03/08

During the last weeks I was busy preparing for Gulf Wars and actually wanted to work on my “leg armor” for SCA “Heavy Fighting” today. Given the amount of layers and the thickness of the material I decided to do the sewing with the help of my sewing machine. But, well, after several hours facing a never ending fight with my sewing machine, I think I finally have to face the sad truth. My sewing machine really hates me and doesn’t want to cooperate with me at all. *sigh* But life is too precious to end the day feeling frustrated and defeated. Therefore I finally decided to stop fighting my sewing machine…

And today let’s talk about one of my other favorite topics besides Klosterstich and surface couching – pearl embroidery! 😀 Well, pearls per se were and still are something very special. Their availability is quite limited and their price is rather high due to the natural production process. Besides the beautiful appearance and shine pearls possess naturally, their rather restricted availability as well as their quite high monetary value might have added to their great appeal in the medieval age. I think that the usage of pearls for jewelry or pearl embroidery used to reflected the wealth of the person who could actually afford to use them in either high quality (large, round and with a perfect surface appearance)…

I have had such a joy watching my tunic be created by such a wonderful person! Extreme talent! Thank you so much for working on my tunic <3 I cannot wait to wear it out at events!

Racaire makes beautiful and period pieces from A-Z! My little family proudly owns three of her bags, which are extremely durable and gorgeous! My daughter (5 years old) even has her own sized bag! They go to every event with us and often I use mine as my purse in mundane life. Racaire will only make and sell items which will stand the test of time and is extremely detailed in everything she does. I recommend 10/10!

Bought a tunic and was not disappointed whatsoever. An extremely talented and kind woman who really knows her craft, will be buying again in the future.

I have followed Racaire's work for a decade. She is a true artist, and absolute magic with a needle! Her block printed fabrics are gobsmackingly gorgeous, with historically appropriate designs, and her embroidery and textile arts are without peer. Her historical research is spot on which is something this history geek truly appreciates. I recommend her work heartily! (and she's an awfully nice person to boot!)

I placed my order and a few days later my package arrived. It was perfect. It was everything I wanted it to be. Nothing to dislike here. Highly recommend.

Ordered one item and had questions about a second item. Racaire was quick to contact me and and send pics with measurements. I ended up getting both items. They were shipped that day and arrived insanely fast for being across the country. Note: Items I selected were in stock. Racaire is very friendly and strives to know a little about each client/customer it seems. TLDR: Item quality/description: 10/10 Shipping speed/costs: 10/10 Customer service/satisfaction: 10/10
