Linen Pinkeep Pair
The below pair of pinkeeps are stitched on aged linen and stuffed with clean sawdust for a somewhat olde heavy feel.
The Valentine pinkeep measures 7" x 3" and has a piece of cluny cotton lace on the end. The Always pinkeep measures 4-3/4" x 4-3/4".
I have prim cross stitched the edges and added a rusty look key on the Valentine and a rusty heart on Always.
They are stitched with muted threads and backed with red coat weight 100% wool.
Punch Needle Hornbook
The hornbook measures 9" x 5-3/4" and features a punch needle adaptation by Notforgotten Farm stitched with Valdani hand over-dyed threads.
It is edged with black boucle and has rusty wire around the top.
'Tis sold - Thank you Vicki
Primitive Heart Make-Do
This primitive make-do measures 10-1/2" x 5-3/4" wide (at the widest section of the heart). I have used a variety of fabrics; cottons and tickings. There are many different decorative stitches on the heart, many of them hand stitched and a rusty look key is attached with a rusty safety pin.
The heart sits in a reclaimed spring that I have tied at the base to shorten it a tad. There is a grunged reversible tag tied to the spring with an over-dyed strip of lace.
It is backed with the aged cottage floral fabric shown on the top of the heart.
Kindly asking $22 plus travel fare.
Pear Sampler Make-Do
Offered below is a pear make do measuring 8-1/2" x 4". The base measures 2-1/2" square.
The pear is stitched in muted threads on natural evenweave and is mounted to a wood make-do base.
There is a grunged tag and jute tied to the base and a velvet leaf and tree twig for a stem attached on the top. The back is a mottled print cotton.
Kindly asking $22 plus travel fare.
