This is the piece I hoped to show you yesterday but the light was too poor for photographs. The last image is how it looked before I worked on it some more last night. Silk velvet is beautiful cloth, luxurious, soft....but unruly....it won't stay where you put it even with millions of pins in it, it slips, it moves and sharp, straight seams are an almost impossible dream but I'm embracing that, it's part of the charm.
I bought coloured gimp and have been feeding the fastening addiction a little since it arrived. I'm hoping these and a few more I intend to make will live on this piece. Over the weekend I hope to work on this some more and also finish this as the titivation's I have been waiting for arrived this morning. There may also be some frothy lace creation going on along with more page creation for ledgers.....
