This is a “biscornu” done by my dear friend Terri. It’s possibly the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen! A little pillow (way way too pretty for pins) on its own pedestal!

Even if it is a kit, there is an essential pleasure one gets from making something so pretty from bits and bobs of string and buttons and wood. Everyone who sees it can enjoy that pleasure, but only the maker gets to experience the transformation from ordinary kit to EFO (extraordinary finished object).

Actually, I believe this is the lounging cushion for a petite and lovely faerie.
