A new project for the future, a raised embroidery Mirror !
I really prefer mirrors to caskets so decided to see how I could make one; have used as main model the one from the Metropolitan museum http://images.metmuseum.org/CRDImages/es/original/DP158570.jpg and did some changes on top plus have hand draw all the motifs also taken from other old unfinished embroidery where the motifs where easyer to hand copy. Then I have made them in the correct size and placement.
It's another ambitious project as it's size is 50 by 60 cm and a lot of tecniques are involved but I want to try.
The carcass of the mirror will be made by a local woodworker here in Rome that always helps me. |
| Finished design but there will be a fish in the pool ! |
If someone wants to join me in this adventure, the pattern is available for sale and will be shipped on paper in full size at cost of € 50 including shipping worldwide, payable by Paypal, email me at fvan@live.it
