Four Corners

Creator/Artist Name:	Jennifer Brulla
Country:	United States
Date Completed:	Feb 19
CONTEST Item #:	10
Four Corners
I saw a necklace hanging in an antique shop, nestled in a desplay from a woman who brings items from the Middle East to sell. I loved it imediately!! I couldn't buy it, so I got a pencil and a piece of paper, and the shopkeeper was nice enouph to let me examine it. I studied it, jotted down the stitch, looked at it from all angles. I had to revisit the shop several times to study the necklace, until it was sold. It is made up of a different type of stitching that I have never seen, sort of like a series of picots. I couldn't replicate the exact pattern, but I could the stitch, so here it is! I added some Mousetail cord, metal beads, and Chinese Button knots, just to add some flair.
