Sewing Bee #154 Turkey Red Shade

A lovely little mixed media Sewing Bee created from a vintage wooden cotton reel, handmade honeycomb, needle and felt bee.

I made this piece from a vintage Sylko wooden cotton reel, the original label is visible on the top. The thread is a gorgeous deep pinky red colour described on the label as 'Turkey Red Shade' (I know! who dreams them up!).

The little bee, I hand stitched with thread, felt and wire. The honeycomb is made from painted and varnished paper and filled with honey coloured resin. The piece is completed with a threaded sewing needle.

The piece measures 5.5cm high by 3cm wide.

Uk P&P is free.
