Japanese Cameo With Tatted Frame


I love the little printed fabrics and this seems to help exaggerate the individual beauty.

Start with a frame that is tatted, then make the oval or square at least 1/4 inch larger than the very center.

With a quick running stitch around the oval ...

this makes a cup like shape, helps turn ends under.

Sewing down her face( leaving room to stuff slightly), and after sewing the frame, it seemed empty at top corners.
Now to add something pretty!

12 rings in a row, 4  rings six double stitches and 3Rs eight ds, and 5Rs ten ds leave long thread to sew down with beads. 
I sewed bead on then wrapped the rings around.

I still felt I needed filigree, and so I added it with a "wrapped back stitch".

this is actually another "Needle Book" " ATC "
Sorry, in case you were wondering, it is not my portrait :)

    This is so unique. I love how you created the flower and filigree. It flows so well and I would not have guessed how you made it, if not for your photos. So lovely!
