Box Top

stranded cotton and Czech glass beads on evenweave over satin and mountboard

I have been trying for a while to work out how to make embroidered boxes. This was a failed attempt. The embroidery is fine, but once mounted up, It's far too thick - with lining, it would be a paperweight, not a box.
Anyway, it was a decent exercise in embroidery.
The colours are supposed to be reminiscent of old bottles. I love that palette.
