Magnetic Enamel Needle Minder by Avlea - Byzantine Rose.
The Byzantine Rose hard enamel needleminder is part of Avlea's collection of unabashedly beautiful needleminders inspired by Byzantine decorative motifs. The shape is what Byzantine artists called a "rose," a form that resembles the mid-section of a bloom and that we recognize today as a heart. It's a small, delightful piece of art history. Finished in rich hard enamel with a gold finish, it's as beautiful to look at as it is to use.
"Byzantine Motifs" series of needleminders is inspired by the tiny decorations and ornamentations found in Byzantine manuscripts and iconography. These lovely motifs are tiny works of art! Needleminders are terrific for not just holding your needle when not in use, but for securing your fabric as you stitch, or holding your pattern to your frame. They can even be worn as a beautiful magnet pin!
Needleminder is 1" across and comes with a 1/2" neodinum magnet (it's strong!)
