Floral Glove Needlecase Finished<\/p><\/div>\n

At long last, after much trial and tribulation, and after completely shredding my fingers because no matter how hard I try I simply cannot<\/em> use a thimble, I have finally completed the finishing on the Floral Glove Needlecase<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’m very pleased with it, and not just because it is finished. It is my first attempt at “historical embroidery”, the first time I have used many of the techniques, and the assembly of the final piece involved my b\u00eate noire<\/em>, glue.<\/p>\n

Textures In Floral Glove<\/p><\/div>\n

The finishing has been full of little details, the spangles decorating the fabric, the gold lace edging the two cuff pieces, the gold-and-spangle edging we added to the silk ruffle. Then the gold twist suggesting the fingers on the hand of the glove, and two rows of gold cord covering the join between the upper and lower pieces.<\/p>\n

I love the variety of textures in this piece, the silk thread, the purls, pearl purls, lizardines and spangles. Then there’s the ultrasuede (another material new to me!)\u00a0 and the silk ruffle, and the brocade inside.<\/p>\n

I keep looking across at it, and thinking “Did I do that? Really?<\/em>”<\/p>\n
