Close up of the frame edge. The frame is made from beech ply, and was beautifully crafted by customwoodwork design in Cotgrave
You can see the three elements of the lace layout in this image. l-r is the Charnia embrodiery on net, text as brides layered with charnia motif lace, text embroidery
I tried to get a sense of scale by leaving in the power outlet here, it’s not the best photo! The small lacelightbox attaches to the wall using a french cleat, just like the large lightbox
Love this flame orange part of the light colour sequence
