Here are two items I made several years ago by painting onto calico and then handstitching the detail which I really enjoyed doing. On the left is a glass pin tray with a typical English cottage with a thatched roof. The glass paper weight on the right is a painting inspired by a book I have called ” The Diary of an Edwardian Lady ” ( Edith Holden) She did beautiful paintings of all things in nature and was English. That was in the early 1900s.
