    It’s time again to show you another awesome patch I got for my wedding cloak project! I proudly present to you this beautiful embroidered patch for my 12th century wedding cloak project by courtesy of lady Sorcha de Lenche.

    2014/05/20

    …and again new progress concerning my “12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon” project. I added more stitches to Saint Michaels garment – more outlines and also more filling stitches. 🙂 I think that the drapery of his second layer at the bottom looks very pretty and I can’t wait to see how it will look like with more outlines and filling… 😀

    12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon – sneak peek.12 – Saint Michaels garment

    2014/05/17

    …and again new progress concerning my “12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon” project. I am very happy to say that slowly but steadily Saint Michaels garment is “growing”. Last time I started with the outlines of the tunic and today I can already show you how this sections look like with the final filling. As you can see at the progress pictures above, I continued working at the upper part of the tunic and filled them with white. I also started working at the first part of the “second layer” of Saint Michaels garment in a nice dark blue. Last but not least I also finished the bottom part of his spear. 😀

    12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon – sneak peek.11 – Saint Michaels tunic

    2014/05/16

    After my short tablet-weaving excursion on my new tablet-weaving loom I continued working on my current “12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon” project. I felt very inspired after my recent work at Saint Michaels face and head and therefore I started working at Saint Michaels tunic. 😀 It find it really amazing how every added stitch and every added section makes this project look more and more like an “proper” design from the 12th century to me.
