Casket Lid Design

adameve2

Today I have started thinking about my design for a tent stitch casket lid. The basic Adam and Eve design was supplied as part of my Cabinet of Curiosities course. As you can see, this was inspired by the design on an early to mid 17th century book cover from the Feller collection now in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. I am auditioning various motifs to fill the gaps, especially in the foreground.
