12th century tunic for my husband – 12th century neckline inspired by the “blue Dalmatika” & “white Alba”

2016/05/19

And today let’s take a further look at the 12th century tunic I made for my husband last winter and especially its 12th century neckline inspired by the “blue Dalmatika” and the “white Alba”. I already started to post about this 12th century tunic project several weeks ago but somehow I got a little bit sidetracked after the last posting. It seems like my brain acts like a squirrel at times as I can get easily distracted. Sometimes it can be a hard task for me to keep track of all my projects as there are so many – future, current and already finished ones… However, postponed is definitely not abandoned. I am picking up the thread right…

…on a medieval photo safari in Vienna…

2014/07/18

At the moment I am on a medieval photo safari in the museums of Vienna… 😀 …I was so excited about the quality of the photos which my new Sony Alpha dslr takes that I decided to “re-take” some photos of my favorite pieces on display at the local museums. Yesterday I already spent about 3.5hours at the treasury and after a first look through my new photos I have to say: all this awesome details! I want more! I am definitely going back today to take more photos! *lol*

Mission Medieval Barcelona

I am such a happy girl and I still can’t believe it. For the next days I will be away from the computer because I am going to Barcelona! Viva Espana! *happydance* 😀 …and my motto is again: “Mission Medieval Barcelona”! But I promise that I will also take a look at the “modern” stuff and that I will take many-many-manyyyy photos. 😉

Impressions from Vienna – Schwarzenbergplatz & Belvedere

2014/02/23

More impressions from Vienna, the city that has been my “home town” for such a long time and still will be for some weeks… I guess I love Vienna as much as I hate it, but that might be also true for many others who spent nearly their whole life in one and the same city. A city that sometimes seems to contain more tourists than citizens – especially when you make the mistake to visit the inner city during day time… 😉 *lol*

Moyen Age N° 95 – article by Tina Anderlini & one of my museum photos

2014/02/23

Some time ago my friend Tina Anderlini told me about an article she was writing and asked me if she could use one of my museum photos from the Schatzkammer in Vienna. …and now you may guess what was in my mail this week. Exactly – an issue of the magazine Moyen Age with her article and with one of my museum photos. 🙂 Thank you very much Tina! I really like your article! 😀 I was very happy to be able to support her article with a good close up picture of the 12th century Cingulum on display at the Schatzkammer in Vienna. This are the moments when I…

Museum visit: Vienna 1450 – The Master of Lichtenstein Castle

2014/02/20

I finally made it to the exhibition “Der Meister von Schloss Lichtenstein und seine Zeit” In English: The Master of Lichtenstein Castle and his time. The “Belvedere” started this exhibition at the 08th of November last year and this weekend, at the 23rd of February, this exhibition will close its doors again. I am so glad that I managed to get there and to see the exhibition shortly before it ends again.
