Embroidered Box
The designs were from various designers. The lid was from a 19th century French wallpaper from the online Antique Pattern Library.
The materials came from the casket course ordered from Tricia Nugyen's Cabinet of Curiosities.

Embroidered Box - Right Side
Stitched by Alicia Clark
Alicia said, "[I] Really wanted to do an embroidered box, but when I got the materials, I changed my mind and started to either do my own design (nonstarter--can't draw) or find different designs I could make work together. This project helped a lot during the days of lockdown.
