This stand-up box is the perfect place to hide your stash of candy canes!  The stand-up box is lined with red silk dupioni and a red silk base.  Custom twisted cording of matte green, shiny red, and wool blue accent the edges of the design.  Bells and loops can be undone to open the box, which has a one-inch depth.
Canvas design by Deborah Forney (ANG National Seminar Tucson 2006).

This Crab Design was finished as a suede box.  The box has a removable lid and base.  The interior base is tufted in a seashell spiral pattern with glass beads.  The outside of the box sides have additional beads tacked through the water pattern.  The waves are hand-painted.  Found objects, shells, charms, and beads are wired to the box lid.

A hanger perfect for a doorknob, lamp switch, or as a wall hanger.  This hand-painted needlepoint canvas is finished with a hardback, trimmed with ribbon fringe and a beaded edge.  The wired hanger is also beaded.  Design by The Collection, part of an upcoming monthly club by The Needlepointer.

This needlepoint canvas ladybug was sent to me finished.  The backing had been destroyed by a pet, so I took it apart by hand.  I then removed the iron-on interfacing (not acid-free) and cleaned the piece.  The edges of the canvas were edged with bias tape to prevent further fraying.  The piece was then put back together in the same shape.  Handpainted canvas from Lee.
