My first silk thimble after so long a leave

 

I am back on line after so long a leave and here is my latest thimble.  The design is called “Seikaiha” or “Seigaiha” in Japanese and its direct translation is “Blue Wave”.

I did not intend to make this design as my first thimble but a simple bi-coloured Scales however, I mistakenly used a nine-section marking paper and here I am with this one.

It took me a little over two hours and it was not too bad for the design.  I have started a new one which is not a thimble and when it’s finished I will share it with you here.  In the mean time here is an another photo of the same thimble, this time on my finger.
