Upon completing a job for a new client, she expressed such satisfaction with the work and service, that she said she would next bring in a challenging project and would need me to save the day. To which I said, "Bring it!"
A few days later she arrived with a dozen or so of these small needlework items she had made for her granddaughter. She sent them off to an unscrupulous framer who did her a terrible disservice. The items were cut and glued, both actions quite unreversible. And then that framer went out of business.

She explained that she had taken these all over town and mailed them to reputable shops all over the country, and they had always been returned to her with the response that there was nothing that could be done.

So I came up with the layout in the image at the top of this post: heads at the top, feet at the bottom, birthday cake in the center. I sent the photo to the client via email, she approved, we selected materials.
Below is the completed project. Items are floating and hand sewn to the mat.
