Slow progress with the right corner details complete using a mix of the old dark gray and dark bluish gray for the walls. Since the printed letter D is too small, decided to make an embossed one for the wall.
Every little detail matters...

For the "glass" theme 2 weeks ago I rescued a glass jar from the recycling bin and examined its possibilities. In the end I plumped for a picture of the neck, but not before noticing a series of dots and numbers on the bottom. So I knew where to find embossings.
This one is on the bottom of a glass jar of Sainsbury's 'Taste the Difference" beer braised onion chutney. I don't know its significance. There was also an E at one corner and a symbol made of two arrows at the other.
The figures are about 6-7 mm tall

A leaf from our courtyard, subjected to one of those embosser thingies that you can use to mark the books in your library.
Same item as this other shot, but captured in some late afternoon sunlight. I didn't apply any color filtering/correction to either one of these photos; the light was just that different.
For this week's theme on Macro mondays "inheritance" the detail of leather embossing on a document folder. It used to belong to my grandfather.

Desiderius’ Cross
cm 127 x 100
9th century (2nd half)
la Croce detta di re Desiderio è un superbo manufatto databile all’VIII-IX secolo d.C. composta da duecentododici fra pietre preziose, gemme vitree e cammei
La prima descrizione della Croce si rinviene nel 1657, in uno scritto della badessa Angela Baitelli, che la colloca in Santa Maria in Solario, dove attualmente è ospitata, dopo la riapertura del Museo nel 1998.
La Croce, che aveva funzioni devozionali e processionali, rappresenta uno degli esemplari liturgici più rari giunti sino a noi, per la gran quantità e il pregio delle pietre decorate, sparse “a tappeto” ma simmetricamente sulla struttura portante in legno, rivestito da una lamina metallica, con i bracci dilatati alle estremità.
Elementi decorativi di età romana, longobarda e carolingia distinguono l’impianto strutturale della Croce, in cui coesistono anche le integrazioni compiute nel corso dei secoli: talmente ricche sono le decorazioni racchiuse nel manufatto da far pensare che si trattasse di materiali provenienti da un tesoro regio, donati in età altomedievale, e da alimentare la leggenda della Croce quale dono di Galla Placidia, e successivamente di Desiderio, fondatore del monastero.
Desiderius’ Cross is a processional cross that used to be carried on a tall staff by hand or on carriages. Considered its use, it was built in wood and covered with golden metal plates. Tradition recounts that it was a gift to San Salvatore and Santa Giulia monastery from the Longobard king Desiderius, who founded it between 753 and 760 together with his wife Ansa.
Among the examples of crux gemmata survived to the present day, this is the largest and it is covered with 211 gemstones set on the four arms. As unique case for this type of decoration, the goldsmiths here reused numerous ancient gems – about 50 – many of which came from other decorative pieces.
Where the arms cross there are two large medallions: the front shows the embossed figure of Christ Enthroned, possibly a 9th-10th century work, surrounded by four miniatures (10th-16th centuries AD). On the reverse side there is the figure of Christ Crucified added during the 16th century. The stones from the Imperial and Late Antiquity ages can be found especially on the reverse of the cross and their large number witnesses the remarkable availability of high quality material possibly derived from ancient imperial treasures.
With a nod to Kylie Lambert's insanely gorgeous embossed cupcakes (http://www.flickr.com/photos/lecupcake/245276637/in/set-72157594316660924/), these guest sized bars are my newest option for bridal shower and wedding favors. They also would make great soaps for a guest bathroom or gift basket. Each one is 2' x 2" square, about 1/2" thick and is embossed with a beautiful lacey design. No two are the same.

Thank you for viewing, commenting and / or adding this photo to your favorites.
It's very much appreciated.
Toni (ToniItaly) SOOO generously gave me heaps of advice and information on how to achieve the wonderful embossing effects she produces on her cookies and cakes. I hope I have "done her proud" with my attempt!
Take your needle, my child, and work at your pattern; it will come out a rose by and by. Life is like that - one stitch at a time taken patiently and the pattern will come out all right like the embroidery.
