Banner:
This banner was embroidered in 2001 and won Best in
Embroidery at the Royal Melbourne Show in the same year.
It is worked on a shot purple silk dupion ground and the
monogram has fifty lengths of soft cotton padding underneath
the smooth and bright check purl. The pomegranates have two
layers of felt underneath them and feature garnets as the seeds
spilling from the fruit. The banner hangs from a blackwood
stand with beaded tassels in the same colours as the piece
hanging on either side.
