The Red Symbol Box
My introduction to the world of embroidered boxes began on the Royal School of Needlework website. While I wasn’t interested at first, my perspective shifted completely when I saw the stunning casket on the cover of their Embroidered Boxes book.
This piece is my first exploration of that tradition. The box is lined and covered with a rich red faux suede, providing a soft, luxurious base for the embroidery. The central design is a symbol of femininity, stitched with careful detail as a gift for a dear friend. This project served as the perfect practice for my next big goal: creating my own version of that beautiful Royal School of Needlework casket.
