TYPE: collars
TECHNIQUE: reverse cut work hedebo
Two collars in ”reverse cut work hedebo”. Both collars are composed of fabric cut into leaves and rosettes consisting of smaller Hedebo rings. On the one collar, an oval hole in the centre of the leaf is filled with needle lace. On the other collar, the leaf is filled with three holes with beading loops and nine stiletto holes. The rosettes on the one collar consist of Hedebo rings filled with beading loops and picots, and have beading loops in the very centre. On the other collar, the rings in the rosettes are empty. Inside the ring of Hedebo rings is a fabric circle with beading loops in the hole in the centre. The different parts of both collars are sewn together with a row of open Danish buttonhole stitching.
