The plaid silk and the printed Japanese fabric were the challenge fabrics, and I thought these from my stash might be useful with them -
I came across a picture of an 11th century crown in a book on Hungarian museums -
Why did I think the design needed to be cut out of the bondaweb first? It doesn't!
Ah but doing it that way did mean bits of other fabrics could be slipped under the top layer. The edges were satin stitched with variegated thread. Cut out bits were added on top of the strip on the right -
Next time I'll do a more careful drawing. The leftovers could start off a new piece --
