The kit includes the pattern, detailed instructions and the materials and threads for working the design.
The background fabric is velvet and is available in black or deep purple.
This design actually adorns an evening bag but those who have already worked this design have chosen to frame it instead.
The centre flower is highly padded with a few layers of felt. Gold kid leather forms the centre of this flower.
The petals are outlined with gilt pearl purl and filled in with cutwork using gilt smooth purls and gilt
bright check purls alternately.
The two silver flowers on either side of the centre flower are worked in laid work over string padding using silver
smooth passing. The centres of these flowers are filled in with chips of gilt bright check.
The rest of the flowers and leaves in this design are padded with felt which are then overlaid with purls in cut work,
chip work and loops. Colour has been introduced into this design with pink rough purls.
The beautiful feature of the basket is s-ing with spangles.
