This is my idea of New Years Eve - not that I normally go out and celebrate but I worked the skyscrapers at the bottom in running stitch, then machine-embroidered with gold metallic thread and other bright colours, randomly, showing my impression of fireworks. Then I added some gift ribbon retrieved from various parcels, which I pinned into the top (I had used a piece of a box side for the mount). The black satin is from a pillowcase given to me by my daughter. She knows I'll take any sort of textile, I can always find a use for it.
