Primitive Punch Needle in Canning Jar Lid Jolly Old St. Nick

Description

This one-of-a-kind original design punch needle Santa has been punched using 100% wool threads in rich shades of ruby red, holly green and winter white, with touches of light gray and light flesh tones. The background has been punched using a yummy overdyed wool in varying shades of midnight blue and deep plum. I've added tiny glass seed beads for a little sparkle. A small rusty bell has been stitched to the end of his hat too...just for FUN! I've placed this Jolly Ol' St. Nick inside a vintage zinc canning jar lid, complete with porcelain liner. The lid measures almost 3" round. It'll come to you signed and dated by The Punchin' Fool [that's me!]


As with all my designs, this item has been created in the primitive punch needle embroidery style.

Punch Needle Embroidery is achieved using a special hollow needle that has an eye in which to thread wool or cotton floss. This thread is 'punched' onto weaver's cloth, wool or any closely woven fabric that is kept taut on a special hoop or frame. Loops are formed on the 'right' side of the fabric to create a design that's been printed on the 'wrong' side.

All of my pieces are original designs punched on weaver's cloth, wool or homespun fabric. I use quality wool or acrylic threads. Each piece is signed and dated.
