About MeA Swiss cottage scene worked on a paper ground in a combination of beadwork and wool tent stitch. This piece demonstrates typical beadwork tapestry where beads have been incorporated in the work to enhance certain areas, such as the floral border. The work also includes metal beads, which give it a sparkly effect. May have been stitched by Miss Simpson herself.
