I currently have this in my show "stitch gasp", although it's not for sale. It will go in my dining room after the exhibit :) I made the shrine with MDF, collaged on torn pieces of scrapbook stencil paper, painted it black with some red, and then hand rubbed it with goldleaf paint using a rag. The eye piece is from an old bracelet I had that I inset into a found handle or door plate. The doors I stitched on with waxed thread, and used two wood beads for the door handles.
The embroidery is on cotton, and all done by hand using a mixture of satin stitch, long and short and couching, then a light wash over parts of it with acrylic paint. I then stretched it over a piece of mdf covered in felt and anchored it to the back.
