Spotted Leather

 Here is where I am on the Blackwell Roundel.

I've padded some quince leaves with beige felt. See the gold spotted leather above them?

Now I am going to cut out the spotted leather to cover them.  It may be a stitching with pliers day depending on how hard it is to pierce this leather with a needle.

Jenny Adin Christie posted some photos of the Blackwell Roundel on Facebook this morning which motivated me to keep working before that beautiful box gets here.



I have ideas percolating in my head about what I want inside the top of my flat casket. I  want a bird that is stitched that plays music and is surrounded by mirrors. That may sound crazy but I think it is doable.
