Title: Embroidery with embedded cabochons
Post by: Ryaly2dogs on January 03, 2019, 12:11:50 PM: Happy New Year All: Sharing a gift my sister made for me from 3 cabochons I sent her. Over the years she has mastered calligraphy, spinning/weaving, stitching and embroidery and I am just over the moon over what she made for me using my own cabs. It now hangs on my bedroom wall. It is a fairly complex embroidery (I think I got the term right) in terms of colors and textures and includes a stitched up thread "bezel" to accept each cab! The cabs include a banded agate, a lacey jasper, and a quartz with marcasite. See attached, I have never previously seen anything like this so wanted to share with you all.

Cheers.
