\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

You may recall that I had an idea to combine the Daisy Beads<\/a> and the Stumpwork Violets<\/a> into a little display under a parlour dome. The colours and scale don’t work with the main panels, and besides, both items are tied specifically to Mary in a way that nothing else is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first thought was a gold trinket pot, but so far I have entirely failed to find a pot of the right sort of dimensions. For some reason, everything I could find was too wide or too high, or not the right surface for gilding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After some experimentation, I settled on piping cord, sewn together with ordinary sewing cotton as I wrapped the cord around a former (a spice jar, since you ask). Even that involved some unpicking and restitching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I’d done it, however, it was too white and stark, not a kindly background for the Daisy Beads. Hmmm…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So that is how I found myself tea dyeing a coiled pot made of piping cord!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
