A 17th Century Stumpwork Mirror




















              I thought I would just bombard you with photos for the reveal of the stumpwork mirror - to enjoy over a coffee this bright Sunday.  There have been quite a few additions since the last time I posted, see if you can spot them all!


       Thanks so much for your kind comments in August, the surgery went well, and I am almost back to normal (whatever that is!)

                                            
                                              Jonquil

    The mirror is just gorgeous! Fantastic detail and so vibrant and lively with those beautiful colours and the 3D effect of the embroidery. A triumph!

    Hi Jonquil! I think that your Stumpwork mirror is a little MASTERPIECE!
    The details within the stitches of the tiny figures are all incredibly fine and precise. You have even teeny tiny stars within the design and what is amazing is that Every single thing is absolutely identifiable.
    You really are at the TOP when it comes to embroidery art. BRAVA!

    elizabeth
    and I am also very glad to know that your surgery is over and that you are on the mend. God is good! :D
