CQJP 2023 Autumn side Lampbox

I just kept throwing things at this one

It also did not go as sketched                                                                                                                  but sometimes you get on a roll 

The bit of ribbon behind the butterflies made of cut lace bits

Sometimes things suggest themselves to you and you have to go with it!


This started out differently and morphed into a vine

with spiderweb roses and sequins?   Huh

Where'd those come from?

Still looks bare though.



I couldn't figure out what to do to mask this seam 


And the reason it needed to be masked in the first place was that 

the fun slubb silk stripe pulled out from under the blue silk

So I had to carefully unpick the blue, make the seam there smaller and pull the stripe as close as I could get to the blue and tack it down without being obvious about it

There is still a tiny little gap but you can't really see it now with the bit of fringe lace over the worst bits. A little bit of fray check doesn't go amiss here either!
