#I also hurt my neck from being crouched over embroidering for like three hours lmao

On the third iteration of this project but I finally got the design down. Im embroidering a headpiece to go with my veil for my wedding this fall. It was my grandmother’s and then my mother wore it for her first communion and also wedding. The design is calla lilies, blackberries, and poppies. I traced the elements from an old embroidery pattern book I found on the Internet Archive. It’s embroidered with silk thread, with some vintage rhinestones and glass beads, and then the star of the show is antique 24k gold thread from a Japanese silk house that went out of business. Honestly, I’m just hoping I can do the materials justice.
