" Pilgrim`s Nest "

Wear then store your art ...

A new idea i had to store part of a piece of

artwork , which i don`t think i`ve seen before ..

I could be wrong ;o)

For the " house " part .. I used a cardboard inner

left over from parcel tape !! I couldn`t throw it as it was

a thick piece of card and i thought it would

come in handy .. one day ..

I lined the inner with vintage wallpaper then cut a circle

of card for the back and stuck vintage ledger paper on .

The size is 3 " diameter and 2" deep .

Glued thick paper on the outside and painted the rim of

the short parcel tape tube a white .

I hand crocheted a nest in chunky wool, then made a wire one to fit inside

with 3 vintage beads as eggs .Then sewed a brooch pin on on the back ,

so it can be worn then housed when it`s not being worn ;o)

Nest brooch size is 1.75 " diameter

I put some seam binding on the top , to hang it ,

but it didn`t sit right on a wall ..

So i came up with it`s own stand !!

A small jewellery box bottom lid , then sewed 2 small twigs

so the decorated roll tape wouldn`t roll off !

Pretty good idea , if i say so myself !! ;o)

Stand size is 3 x 2.5 "

Inside close up ..

Vintage text , bleached twig piece , faux moss , vintage flowers

Many thanks for the well wishes for my FIL

at the moment things are going good ;o)

And any interest in the above piece to purchase it ,

please get in touch , but i will try soon to list it ..

I`m just short of time right now

Thanks for popping by ;o)
