Do you look at caskets like this and think of how 'someday' you want to make something like this? Don't let that thought of someday keep you from making it today. There are only 22 spots available in my Harmony with Nature course, which has a similar look to the top of this casket. I had threads manufacturers as well as the other materials for finishing and the boxes. Several of the artisans I worked with have retired and so I am working down the materials and boxes that I had put together. Don't miss out. I have waiting lists of people who are sad that they missed out on the larger boxes when they had the chance after taking the original classes.
The Harmony Casket was designed by me to be something that could be worked like I had designed it OR 
have areas that you could redesign easily without having to know how to 'design'. Each side has a small oval with an animal in it. These designs can be switched out for something you prefer like pets, pictures of flowers you love, text that is cross stitched in place, a tent stitched design, your house, family, etc. The possibilities are endless. The same with the top image in the circle. I worked the allegory Harmony on mine but also gave a second design for a woman embroidering. And many students have changed this design to be themselves playing a musical instrument, doing a stitching piece that they had on silk gauze, and other cool ideas. An appliqué of something else could be done in the circle. So you can make it your own. Another student switched the heads of the large flowers to be those indigenous to their country for a twist. I LOVE, LOVE these types of changes and adore when students in the class go back and forth with me on their ideas for changes.
