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

12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon – sneak peek.8…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. 😀

And after a picture of the whole embroidery, here a close up picture of the progress concerning the upper body of Saint Michael:

…and again a more detailed close up picture of my Split Stitch embroider of this section for you:

I hope you enjoyed my new posting and I wish you a pleasant weekend. 😀

Best regards Racaire
