In between going shopping, cleaning the hens and ducks out I managed to squeeze in making some treasure boxes. I used the fabric from the Kool Aid dyeing, as I speak I have another batch of dyeing on the go. Black Grape this time, which looks like a purple mulberry colour. I hope it keeps the colour and not go to light on drying.
The boxes are made from bits and pieces of left over wool and decorative ribbons with lots of machine embroidery to bring it all together.
For once the close up pictures seem to have worked and show the detail, might have something to do with the settings of pixels!!
The fabric in reality looks like a velvet, very rich.
The button fastening will be sewn on tomorrow.
