    2014/05/20

    …and again new progress concerning my “12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon” project.

    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.

    12th century embroidery – Saint Michaels 12th century face finished – sneak peek.10

    2014/05/14

    Yesterday I made again some good progress concerning my “12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon“. 😀 It was really a hard struggle with the thread, the needle and the fabric but finally Saint Michael got his 12th century face. I am very happy and also very proud of how it turned out. When you compare the original outlines at the picture at the top left with the embroidery underneath, you will see that the final embroidery looks really very different. Though the final shape of his face might look odd to our modern eyes, it is based on a period example which I found on a 12th century wallhanging.

  • positive review  Racaire makes wonderful things, she even takes on the Herculean task of dressing ME up pretty and makes it look easy. Anyone who has seen me at an event the past three or four years has seen her work. Not only is it beautifully made, it's durable enough to wear for heavy combat! Win-win!

    Ive bought two items from her workshop(hood and custom bag). Both were beautiful and high quality. I received so many compliments during Gulf Wars about my hood. The quality of her work is almost unmatched and is super easy to work with. I came with a jumbled idea for my bag and she worked wonders. Will definitely be buying again!
