decorated box

This is a sample of the boxes Inga and I are prepairing for a new book, which will be ready in autumn. The decoration of this sample is from the book "tatting square motifs together", but the ones of the new book will have stunning and never seen decorations.

Decorating boxes

Actually I'm designing some pieces to decorate different shape of boxes, which Inga Madsen will make and teach in a new book. I asked her to make this book together, because I thought of the lovely little tatted pieces everybody has made, but perhaps has no practical use for them. Making these fabric covered boxes is such a funny thing to do and decorate them with a lovely tatting is superb. Naturally those boxes can also be decorated with embroidery or other techniques. I designed this piece for the oval box.
