Interesting Links – inspiration for a 10th century SCA knighting scroll and more…

2014/05/28

It appears somehow funny and also really amazing to me how Fortuna works from time to time… *lol* Yesterday I was talking about a very special scroll commission for a SCA peerage scroll. About a 10th century SCA knighting scroll for the upcoming knighting ceremony of a friend – btw. my very first peerage scroll! 🙂 …and today I already run into an inspiration for it, awesome coincidence, isn’t it… *lol* Well, I don’t worry much about the fact that I have never done a peerage scroll till now. I already made so many scrolls that even a peerage scroll is also “just” another scroll for me. Like always I hope that the…

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.

Interesting Links – 12th century art on display in museums – a beautiful fresco in the USA…

2014/05/04

Recently I run into some very nice examples of 12th century art on display in online museum collection. And not only 12th century art, I also found other nice pieces of medieval art from other centuries… 😀 Normally I just look through the photos and information and save what I find interesting to my hard disk for later inspiration and research. But I got to know that some of my gentle readers are not only interested into medieval embroidery but also into history and medieval art. Therefore I started collecting new interesting links as soon as I run into them to be able to share them with you.

12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon

2014/04/30

At the moment I am working at the next posting for the current Craft with Racaire project – the “fast & easy pouch tutorial“. I will post it soon but it’s not finished yet… 😀 Therefore I decided to tell you more about my newest project and to show you some sneak peeks of it – of my new: 12th century embroidery project “Saint Michael and the Dragon” During my Mission “Medieval Berlin” I saw a beautiful embroidered wallhanging from the 12th century on display in one of the museums. This period wallhanging inspired me to try a “new” medieval embroidery technique. But first things first – here are the first photos of my new medieval embroidery project – enjoy! 😀 Above you…

Mission “Medieval Berlin” – the forgotten 14th century Queen from France

2014/04/16

As I promised, I already took a first look through my photos from Berlin. At the very first day I visited the “Tiergarten Berlin” (the zoo) and the nearby aquarium. Knowing that you would prefer to see some of my medieval photos first, I decided to skip this day for now and to start with day 2 and my very first museum visit. What shall I say – it was truly amazing! I already found some lovely medieval art at the very first museum I visited. I spend some hours looking through the medieval collection and took about 2.300 photos. Well, I admit that this count surprised me but I…

14th century Floral Head Bands

2014/04/07

As some of you might have noticed over the last years, I really love visiting museums. And even more than visiting museums I love to take pictures of the beautiful medieval things on display in museums. Regardless if it is about medieval fabrics, medieval wood-work, medieval jewelry,… or medieval embroidery. You can take me to a museum and leave me alone in the medieval collection. I will happily entertain myself by taking several photos of nearly every medieval thing on display. It is especially dangerous to leave me alone with a good 12th century, 13th century or 14th century collection. Some of my friends already found out that 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.
