Bode Museum – Sprang hairnet from the 5th century

2019/12/26

Sprang is an old technique that got several of my friends very excited recently. And as I have a certain love for interesting and rare things, I remembered a wonderful example from the 5th century on display at the Bode Museum in Berlin, Germany. I had the great pleasure to get to see and photograph this beautiful piece during my visit in 2014 and hope you’ll enjoy it too:

  Just received the most darling pair of handmade earrings from her and I love them. Quick shipping, excellent communication and customer service, excellent and professional craftsmanship and just all around delightful to deal with. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for that perfect item or gift!

  In 2017, I had the distinct pleasure of having Racaire work on my coronation dress. Her seamstress skills are unmatched and she was a joy to work with. She made me feel like a Queen. 👑👸👑

  Working with Racaire's Workshop has been wonderful. I special ordered an octopus bag and it is beautiful. She created it to my requested specifications.There was a ton of communication throughout the entire process. It was efficient, and easy.

  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.

  Fantastic quality and really awesome communication. Very much appreciate the beautiful stamp work and high quality sewing. The wool coif will be something he treasures for a long time!

  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!)

...working at blue & white fringe using a medieval technique.
💙😍💙

I think the most difficult thing here is to find the fastest way/finger work to knot it in order to make more fringe in less time...
