Preparations for Curiously Enough!

Amazing what skills need to be learned when working out framing possibilities!
Fragile pieces for 'Curiously Enough' at Ruskin Mill threaded in a frame within a frame ...

This wonderful drill belonged to my father in law who was a skilled craftsman.

The needle and thread slip through the carefully drilled 1mm holes in the inner frame, hopefully now the work is held by a web of thread and suspended ....
Next task - get it to the framers without incident!!!
