The piece is called Les Coeurs…The design is worked on silk organza. All the beads and sequins are applied with a tambour hook. The dark brown soutache around the outline, the raffia and the padded areas covered with pearl cotton is sewn on with a needle.
Exquisite! See many more photos at her blog post.
