First a reminder of the spindle and the bits and pieces I gathered together.
Spindle, wooden cotton reels and blank beer mats. Had an idea to use the alcohol inked plastic dome at the top left of the photo but it didn't fit in so I abandoned that one (plus a few others along the way).
I painted the spindle and reels with Fresco Finish paints, covered card with some silk fabric I had coloured and stamped (lace stamp) a few weeks ago and then die-cut the dressform. Transferred some coloured thread from my embroidery stock onto the reels (that took an absolute age to do) and draped the ends of the threads from the hole at the top of the spindle.
Alison - CB's Craft Zone - also did the challenge and her piece is fabulous, very clever and very different from my take on it. Up until today Alison hadn't put her challenge on her blog - come on Alison, get your finger out love, you need to share your beautiful box..

I must state that it looks even better for real as I was privileged to see it on Saturday. Can't see all the details here. Great idea Ann!
Love Jo x
Well done, you! I wouldn't have known where to start. Am impressed :-)
I've just uploaded mine Ann. Some of us still have to go out to work, lol. Your finished piece was absolutely fabulous and so much better in real life. I love it, x
