From the idea to the finished piece
Smaller works and custom projects
In addition to “historical” painting, I also create various smaller items, with or without painting. Most of them still have a historical reference, but see for yourself.
Currently, I produce:
Custom painting projects
I am also happy to take on smaller painting projects or custom work that are not listed among my standard pieces. Whether it’s small paintings, tent altars, painted furniture, or even patches for a heraldic surcoat, feel free to get in touch!
Medieval ‘board games’ and accessories.
“Glückshaus” or “Seven” in various designs
Seven is a gambling game from the 15th century. It is believed to have originated in southern Germany. The aim of the game is to win the coins or stakes from the other players. This is done by rolling two dice and placing or taking coins from the spaces on the board.
Game contents: Instructions, 30 playing pieces, 2 dice, linen game board (available in various sizes), hand-painted.
Paternoster
Paternosters were part of everyday life for many people in the Middle Ages. As prayer beads, they helped with counting prayers and often accompanied their owners for many years. Made from a variety of materials, they were both a practical devotional aid and a personal piece of jewelry.
Handcrafted tassels as well as handmade glazed clay beads.
Painted bags
Hand-painted fabric bags featuring motifs from medieval, Renaissance, or Baroque manuscript art. I paint them in a woodcut/engraving style using textile paints, which are then fixed for durability. Custom coats of arms or personal motifs are also possible.
Lacing cords
Almost every late medieval garment typically includes a set of lacing cords, which I also produce alongside to my painting work. In the standard form they are hand-braided from two colors of cotton thread, and the tips are then attached. The lacing tips are simple small pieces made of brass sheet, which – in my experience – fit all the usual eyelets used by garment makers. The cords are approximately 30 cm long without the tips.
Pricing:
- Lacing cord with tip, single: €6
- Lacing cord with tip, 5-pack: €27
- Lacing cord without tip, single: €4.50
- Lacing cord without tip, 5-pack: €20
Tips can, of course, be added to cords sold without them, and custom orders are also possible. You can choose different colors, lengths, and types of tips. Braiding with hand-spun wool in various patterns and diameters is also possible, and the tips can be sewn on if desired. Feel free to ask!
Inquiry
As mentioned above, I am open to any new project, even if it is not listed yet. I love exploring new ideas and look forward to your inquiry!
