I used a wonderful cigar box and created a collage on the top using various papers and a bit of lace and old buttons. The image is a Tim Holtz paper doll.

I’ve added an overdyed wool piece to the inside bottom and left the rest as is! It comes with a lovely overdyed wool heart pincushion I made and beaded a variety of. 4 different beads to it.

Velvet Heart

Made from a vintage piece of red velvet that I dyed a bit with coffee this sweet heart is reminiscent of bygone Valentine's Days. A piece of repro red print cotton backs the heart of velvet while 2 vintage mother-of-pearl buttons adorn the front. It makes a lovely pincushion as it is stuffed with wool homegrown in my state of Pennsylvania to keep your pins from rusting. The heart will also make a lovely addition to a bowl or basket. It measures 7 1/4 inches tall and 5 1/2 inches wide. This is the last of my red velvet so I cannot take orders. There are two available. I am kindly asking $30 each which includes the cost of shipping.
