    You have done great honor to have rescued that object of art and completed it is the loving fashion that you have. What color binding do you plan? Or is it something that will just come to you when the time is right, as do so many instances of inspiration? Don

    I believe the lady that made this developed alzheimers and the family got rid of everything she had. She did every craft you could think of. She even had a kiln!
