• decoration added to embellish Milly Sleeping
From a Columbine Cup from Nuremberg, 1573-1580, the convex curve of a bell we made. A drawing of bronze French handbell from the second half of the 12th century became another of our paper baubles. From a lidded beer tankard, c. 1540, came a green lantern, while another was fashioned from a table clock of rock crystal and silver guilt, c. 1750.
Six different ornamental shapes hand-cut and decorated with our brand new badges. Part Middle Ages and Renaissance to present day, with an owl and a donkey. Making treasure from treasures and all especially for Milly Sleeping, in something of its own beautiful working pattern.
Last year, we brought to Carlton a troupe of Salvaged Relatives in an ornamental spin. In 2012, a charm of golden finches and their hidden and painterly gems. Today, for the bright festive days of December, 120 hand-cut paper ornaments. Pinned to each ornament, a selection of our fourteen new badges (ten small and four medium). Collaged. Decorative. Wearable. For lapels or ears.
Head to Milly Sleeping (157 Elgin Street, Carlton) to see and perhaps lay claim to a colourful bunch.
(Milly Sleeping is now also open on a Monday for the month of December.)
