We gave this to my mom's BFF(mom is 91). It was the perfect gift for a woman who sews well. She was so thankful. Really great workmanship. Even the way it was wrapped was magical.
The steel is the wire frame and the cotton is the part you see in the photo. It's very cool! The fabric/cotton is hardened and pulled over the steel frame.
I love this little mirror! When you look closely, it's obvious an artist hand-painted the design and that makes it even more special to me. It hangs in my living room and makes me happy when it catches my eye.
