Shocking

I think of this as my 'French' Bauble, because of the colour, a deep intense pink.

In 1937, the Parisian coutourier Elsa Schiaparelli released her perfume Shocking, which was packaged in this shade of pink, her signature colour. The bottle, designed by Dali, was reputedly modelled on the body of Mae West, a client of Schiaparelli's.
Since then, bright cerise pink has been known as Shocking Pink.
I applied layers of fabric and lace, then stitched spirals in shaded cotton thread.
Finally I added embellishments of shot silk, with tiny gold beads in the centre.
I'd like to think Mme Schiaparelli would have approved.
