Textured Treasures Stash

I can't resist a grab bag, so when I saw Textured Treasures had one, I bought. Glad I did. This has so much in it and is soo worth it. Now to get to work.

 

Filling In

The calyx is half filled, and this is coming along swimmingly.

 

Little Lines on Left

Lots of little lines on the left as I get to working another line across.

 

19th Century Calculator

This seems to be a Liebniz machine that was used for calculating in the 19th century. Not at all sure what it was doing in Caserta palace ...it's called an arithrometer. This one was built by Charles Xavier Thomas de Colmar and was evidently used at the castle for business. Can understand the need for a calculator considering the size of this place.


 

Ordinary People

Murals of ordinary people who look like they could be living today.

Black Needle Society Christmas In July

This box had so few stitching supplies in it. I'm not sure it's worth keeping the subscription because it seems to be a trend to become a lifestyle box instead of a stitching box.

 

A Building

All the rest of the piece is full coverage, so it'll be slower going from here on out.
