Medieval Arts & Crafts: Coming back at last!

http://medievalartcraft.blogspot.com/2011/12/coming-back-at-last.html

Friday, December 23, 2011. Coming back at last! OK, so what in the heck happened to me? I haven't really posted since March! My decade-plus relationship went kablewy! In a rather dramatic and unfortunate fashion and it took months to get over it. Not just the emotional stuff but also the practical stuff of moving belongings, doing work on my house, establishing a new social life, etc. A bunch of stuff happened at work as well, making my life even more chaotic and stressful. Glad to be back! A Stitch Out ...

Medieval Arts & Crafts: An unexpected museum visit in Frankfurt

http://medievalartcraft.blogspot.com/2013/05/an-unexpected-museum-visit-in-frankfurt.html

Wednesday, May 8, 2013. An unexpected museum visit in Frankfurt. St Veronica, attributed to the workshop of Roger. Campin, circa 1428-30. For example, I had pored over the above image many times and never really took notice of the lovely little shoe St. Veronica is wearing. The painting is nearly life size, so there was a lot of detail to take in. Portrait of Simon George of Cornwall by Hans Holbein. For more information about Handicraft. February 18, 2014 at 5:50 PM.

Medieval Arts & Crafts: I used an orbital sander as an eraser

http://medievalartcraft.blogspot.com/2013/07/i-used-orbital-sander-as-eraser.html

Friday, July 19, 2013. I used an orbital sander as an eraser. I was commissioned a while ago to make a Dia de Los Muertos themed shadow box, and other than making the figures (similar to those for this project. For inside I've made little progress. Until now! Until one recent day when I grew so frustrated with looking at my failure that I decided to try something to fix it. I put 220 grit sandpaper on my orbital sander and sanded all the unwanted paint right off. It worked! The painting is going to be a ...

Medieval Arts & Crafts: New painting, moving forward in time to Raphael

http://medievalartcraft.blogspot.com/2010/11/new-painting-moving-forward-in-time-to.html

Sunday, November 7, 2010. New painting, moving forward in time to Raphael. The third assignment for my art class is to recreate a painting from 1500 to 1700 in oil. Lots to choose from, right? An additional experiment I am going to try is doing two copies of the painting. One will be my official school assignment in oil, the other will be a practice version executed in acrylic. Acrylic? What the heck am I thinking? Keep painting, cant wait to see this one. November 7, 2010 at 3:14 PM. Ur ett insnöat liv ...

Medieval Arts & Crafts: New! Pattern #21 in progress

http://medievalartcraft.blogspot.com/2012/03/new-pattern-21-in-progress.html

Tuesday, March 6, 2012. Pattern #21 in progress. Has it really been two years. Since I last published a pattern? Well, here it is: Pattern #21 in brick stitch. The pattern is based on a medieval tile roof from Burgundy as shown in the book I featured in my last post. It is technically not document-ably German in origin, but it is in the same style and it is a beautiful pattern. I tried to replicate the original colors, but I think it would look beautiful in a number of color combinations. Prosopon School...

Medieval Arts & Crafts: Recreation of an Old Master in Tempera

http://medievalartcraft.blogspot.com/2010/10/recreation-of-old-master-in-tempera.html

Sunday, October 17, 2010. Recreation of an Old Master in Tempera. For my current art class assignment I had to choose a 15th century tempera painting and do my best to copy it. My choice is this portrait by Ghirlandaio from the late 15th century. I roughed up the Masonite with sandpaper then applied a coat of warm rabbit skin glue. After that dried I applied several coats of warm gesso made with chalk and rabbit skin glue. Once the gesso dried overnight I sanded the board smooth. Thank you for sharing!
