Jackie DuPlessis ~ It's Fine-ally Finished
1. Anglo Indian work-box - $430 (deposit of $260) ~ one and half days
Inspired by stunning Indian work-boxes created in the district of Vizagpatam, India where the Indian craftsmen used wood and ivory/bone to create charming cottage styled work-boxes. These work-boxes are rare and only a few have survived. With the isolation of covid, I seized the day and created one for myself. I am so pleased to be able to share this stunning little cottage with removable roof. The roof actually is functional since the sides can be flapped up to reveal needle-pages and the pincushion chimney and pink keep cap is also removable. The entire house is stitched using a variety of Noir silk fibers on 35ct linen. The interior is furnished with a stuffed pincushion and two removable lids that allow storage of waxers and spool holders. Ultra Suede linens the interior cavities and the pull out draw stows your favorite scissors. Each side of the house work-box features images close to my heart. The front panel with it's charming garden gate, windswept trees and key hole center, the back with it seagulls, inhabited cliff and seal-boats with compass rose. The sides feature a bottle-brush tree and a Acacia tree.

2. Ceylon Sapphire - $665 - (Deposit $495) ~one and half dayCeylon Sapphire is a "Ebonized" work-box that is furnished with stitched interior panels reminiscent of the carvings done in Ceylon/Sri Lanka mid to late 18th century. The work-box measures around 7" square and was created to hold and store all your stitching supplies. Lift the lined wooden lid and the interior of this work-box reveals functional panels, three of which are hinged. These three panels are designed to stow a pincushion and the two side panels has laser cut panels to stow spools of silk fiber. These three panels can fold down flat, but one they are folded up into a square work-box, your attention is drawn the the internal compartment that holds your treasured notions.
