Description

As luscious in needlelace as it is in real life, this superb strawberry makes a stunning fob for a favourite pair of scissors or a key.

Using two shades of red silk thread, the body of the berry is created by layering a variation of pea stitch over a foundation of corded Brussels stitch.

Dainty gold beads add sparkle to the tiny picots and texture to the surface of the berry.

A lavish silk and metallic thread tassel finishes the base and the fob hangs from a twisted cord.
