Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There are some stray threads at the lower right corner. The thickness of the work is variable due to the inherent nature of the materials and the effects of gravity. There lavender has retained a fresh and pleasant scent. Slight buckling to the lycra has occured from the uneven distribution of the seeds at the center of the piece.
