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:

  I recently bought a run of octopus print fabric from Racaire’s Workshop. The piece is beautiful and it’s always a pleasure to business with a fellow artist. Anna’s attention to detail is amazing.

  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!

  She’s a very talented artist and sews beautifully! My custom bag was hand stamped with her own cut stamps in beautiful Gold paint, and the design looked perfect on the bag. If you need a bag for a purse or knapsack, and with any design you can think of, purchase it from this wonderful lady! ***** (5 stars)

  I commissioned a hand carved stamp for my husband's knighting ceremony clothes. Not only is it gorgeous, but I was given SO MUCH information on sources and instructional information on block printing. I now feel relatively confident I can do this. Perfection.
