    2014/03/27

    Wooohoooo! Countdown! -9 days! Well, I am glad that I have still 8 days + 1 evening to finish the embroidery for the embroidered 14th century pouch for the 9th blog-birthday! I still think that I will finish the pouch in time but it would surely help if you cross your fingers for me… 🙂 As you already might have noticed, I posted yesterday about the most basic medieval hand sewing technique “Running Stitch” and all the possibilities to use it for hand sewing, pattern fitting and also its use concerning medieval hand embroidery techniques. Therefore you get to see two progress pictures of my embroidery progress today. Enjoy! 😀

    Wow!!! The 9th birthday of my blog is coming up soon!

    14th century French Pouch .1 – sneak peek progress .16 – Endspurt! :)

    2014/03/22

    …and the first outlines for my 14th century French pouch – enjoy! 😀 Though I don’t know yet with which color(s) my customer would like to see the hood filled and the figures outlined, I took the freedom to already start with some of the “not-so-important” outlines. In my opinion this “not-so-important” section is the small yellow section between the red and green sections and looks like a very slim cross. For this section in the middle I decided to use my white wool-silk thread for the outlines. The white thread nicely accentuates the section but does not distract from the embroidery as you can see on the following picture. I decided to…

    positive review  I commissioned a hand carved stamp for my husband's knighting ceremony clothes. Not only is it gorgeous, but I was given SO MUCH information on sources and instructional information on block printing. I now feel relatively confident I can do this. Perfection.

    I’ve admired Racaire’s work for months and recently had a chance to purchase one of her scarves. So delighted with my purchase! The phoenix print on the scarf is so crisp and such a lovely, unique design. The fabric is soft and just the right color to complement the design. Shipping was swift, communication was excellent, and I just really enjoy wearing something that has so much creativity poured into it. I look forward to shopping from Racaire’s Workshop again!

    positive review  Racaire made and appliqué and embroidered Rose hood for me as a commissioned present. It is stunning, the skill and attention to detail are superb. It is one of the most beautiful things I own. Wool with silk and gold work.

    positive review  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!

I am working on a new design for my very first large stamp - "Modern Medusa" - which was inspired by a customer inquiry by a lovely lady and furthermore also by historic depictions of Medusa in art...
