So I've got the cushion for the coiled put done, but now I wonder, should I stain the wooden base before varnishing it?

You may recall a bright idea I had, to bring together the violets and the daisy necklace under a parlour dome.
I had a go this morning, and it doesn't quite work, as yet. The velvet padded base and the height of the rope basket make everything feel a bit odd, and the mat of violets is too broad, and doesn't droop enough.
Safe to say, I have more thinking to do!

Tea-dyeing a coiled cord pot ranks quite highly in the list of Amarna-related adventures I Did Not See Coming!

I really hope that this way of mounting the #AmarnaRoyalFamily works. This whole stage has been a struggle for far too long!
