Cabinets of Curiosities

I have signed up to do the Cabinet of Curiosities at Thistle Threads.com. It is an 18mth online course on embroidering an 17th century cabinet as well as the Stumpwork course.




This is my first sketch which is the front doors and two top friezes.




Here  it is in colour I'm not sure if the front doors will stay the same, I think I will do some more of the panels and see how it comes together.
