Christmas Confections reflects the joy I experience whenever I open a box of fine truffles, marveling upon the myriad variety of color and design. Each one is its own unique work of art. I have started my own Christmas tradition of giving my closest friends a box, which I specially curate to achieve a specific look. I have attempted to re-create this tradition in fabric, auditioning specific textiles with a truffle design. I cut each truffle individually along with nonpareil candies, and through fabric collage achieved an arrangement pleasing to my eye. Metallic thread creates texture and adds sparkle to the piece.
