Treasures...

Ok, I think I have given the miniatures virus to my mother! ;-))
She is a quite talented lady with many interest such as polymer clay jewelery, painting, fayum painting (with wax), crochet... Having a great stock of hand-made crochet masterpieces, some of them very old (made by her aunt), she decided to create some curtains for my mediterranean cottage:

And then she thought of making some rugs and and a carpet:

And after that she un-earthed some pieces she thought I could use with my miniatures:

and some nappkins from an old dinner set she thought they can be great table cloths:
Quite a treasure ha?

Having quite a stock for myself now, I thought you might also like them , and if you are interested in any of them, just send me an email...

  1. Treasures indeed! They're very well made!
    I have piles of beautifully embroidered cloths from my mother who started handcraft when she was a little girl.

  4. You are lucky to have such a talented mother Anthoula. The design of the curtains she created are so intricate!

    When I am making a miniature boat I always ask my mother to sew the sail for me. I'm all thumbs with a needle and thread and would be lost without her help.
