The lacy edge I created is now joined to the lower edge of another piece of work. It compliments the larger piece so well, finishes it, completes it. I backed it last night and will show you that tomorrow. I feel a real sense of accomplishment with this....mirrors, buttons, French knots, lace, they all blend so beautifully....It also has that weight thing going on. You know.....when you have something in your hands and it's not heavy but you can feel the substance of it. It isn't fragile yet it doesn't weigh you down.....you remain aware of its preciousness...I may put it in the shop...I can't decide....

I really love that heavily emellished edge at the moment, contrasts beautifully with the lightnest of the lace
all those hours of work sure do make for a beautiful, precious piece. i love it.
I love that band of french knotted bliss interspersed with mirrors and buttons ......I want to run my fingers over it and feel the texture
The textures shift beautifully from the French knots to the scrim.
I love the use of the buttons in the top photo...and the mirrors are a wonderful addition. I enjoy reading through your posts when I get the chance. :)
i just love the delicacy of this Karen.
There are only so many superlatives in the English language and I think I've used them all describing your work, so I'll have to repeat myself.
Stunning! And I know just what you mean about the weight, there's something luxurious about a cloth that weighs right in your hand. I love,the use of buttons and shisha mirrors together, inspired :-)
Weight...yes, I know just what you mean. Holding something and knowing it is just right - this is such a beautiful piece and as you say, all blend together perfectly. It truly is lovely!
Simply beautiful
Oh my word! Karen, this is stunningly beautiful.
I simply can't imagine the number of hours that have gone into the creation of this piece. However would you be able to set a price on it?
