I made again good progress concerning my “12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon” project. Today I can show you the work result of the last two evenings. I finished Saint Michaels first layer at the bottom and already embroidered the outlines for his feet. 🙂 Oh my, he has sooooo cute little feet… *lol*

I promise! 😀 After my short trip to…

…and again new progress concerning my “12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon” project. I just finished the right side of the second layer of Saint Michaels garment and now I am already working at the left side.

…and again new progress concerning my “12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon” project. I added more stitches to Saint Michaels garment – more outlines and also more filling stitches. 🙂 I think that the drapery of his second layer at the bottom looks very pretty and I can’t wait to see how it will look like with more outlines and filling… 😀

I know, when I am having fun with an embroidery project, I tend to forget everything around me… *lol* But well, I love embroidery and I also love posting new progress pictures for you… 😀 Now, after I made some really nice progress concerning my new 12th century project “Saint Michael and the Dragon“, it is time to go back again to my second “Craft with Racaire” project: the fast and easy pouch tutorial. Wow, I have so many projects at which I am working at the moment and already so many ideas for new projects that I really should finish this one as soon as possible… 😀 In the last posting I showed you how…

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

…and again some new progress concerning my “12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon“. As you can see at the picture underneath, I made some nice progress during the weekend. The feet of the dragon are now completely filled. I also managed to get a part of the tail and of the outer border done. As expected, the feet really “pop out” in this outer border. I like this effect. 🙂 …and here a new progress picture for you – enjoy! 😀

Revisited – 12th century nailbinded cap in purple with tassel
I recently got to know that the purple 12th century nailbinded cap which I made in december 2013 finally arrived safe in the hands of my beautiful sister Bella in the states. Actually it was meant to be a christmas present. But due to all the mundane stress I had during the turn of the year, I unfortunately forgot to send it till spring. …and then – *panic* – it seemed that the cap got lost in the mail…. I was really frightened that the cap might got lost in the mail until I got the releasing message from my sister. Therefore I decided to celebrate the arrival and to revisit my…
