To the basic shape I've added vintage lace and doilies.
A lace butterfly and some Edwardian text.
All wrapped up in gold thread.
A broken faux pearl necklace, vintage lace and that mystery gold mesh, again wrapped with gold thread.
Hiding on the other side - could this be the mistress or does the lady have a secret friend?
Cut work from a doily and another Edwardian image.
Some lines from an Edwardian verse.
You can make up your own story from the images. All images and text are originals, gleaned from a magazine called Pall Mall.
What are you making for Valentines day?
Beautiful pieces of work! :]
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Love your textures!
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my blog and giving me such good ideas on how to manage time, I think I will give them a go. It is so easy to get distracted and time just seems to slip away so using a CD to measure time and change projects when it finishes does sound like a great idea!
Hope you have fun at the class.
have a good week.
