    I finally finished my new 12th century “Saint Michael and the Dragon” banner!

    2016/05/14

    In my previous posting “Working at my 12th century “Saint Michael and the Dragon”“ banner I already showed you the very first steps needed to turn my finished 12th century inspired “Saint Michael and the Dragon” into a small banner for my living room. My last posting included information about how I chose the fabric and where I found the inspiration for the final shape for my banner project. Furthermore I also wrote about how I attached the embroidery to the surface and how I prepared the final shape of the banner…

    Today I have great news for you – my “12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon” is finished! This embroidery took an endless amount of working hours and embroidery stitches but I didn’t give up! 😀 As you might have noticed, I already enjoyed the “Endspurt” phase of this embroidery tremendously.

And during the last night I was finally able to make the last stitches. I tell you, that was a really awesome feeling. ….and here two pictures of my finished “12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon” embroidery for you – enjoy! 😀 …at the…

    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.

    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! 😀

  • 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!

    positive review  Racaire's work is thoughtful, beautiful, historic and absolutely well made! There is care and pride in everything that comes out of her workshop, a craftmanship that you just don't get from mainstream markets! I have several items done by her hand and I am continually asked about them and who made them. Racaire's quality and artistic beauty shines through everytime.
