Conspiracy of a private affair

For a Pincushion Exchange that is !
If I do recalled correctly, its our  first private exchange , Margaret W and me. There was no theme nor medium of finishing mentioned,  we only agreed on the dateline.  This is an inspiration drawn from visiting the Strawberry Farms.

With my package I included a Glass Vial which is my second made while the little dress is actually a miniature store bought Cheongsam fob.

I've made the vial cover magnetic by placing a thin magnetic strip  on the inside (bottom) top cover so one may store needles and retrieve it easily

The Pincushion, my Bucket of Berries

Material : Felt and french knots
I supposed you can use beads to replace the french knots
Its actually a bold step for me to use french knots all over the berries, knowingly that I have not perfected my knots yet and when one had knotted one too many, I got confused !

Bucket : Painted French Inspired  design on clay from  Kaison

I hope the strawberries are giving an illusion that its filling up the bucket .

 You can judge the size here

 I've added a pumpkin pincushion under the cover for added support

Removable for actual storage space below, the dangling single strawberry actually helps position the cover

Gonna tempt you with the real thing !!
