Abstract:

A novel wall hanging which is a three-dimensional facsimile of a fruit bowl and kit for its fabrication are described. The hanging itself contains a backing board having a face side and a back side. A background burlap cover is tightly stretched over the front side of the backing board and the leftover edges of the background burlap cover are securely attached to the back side of the backing board by either glue, tape or other suitable means. A pocket is situated on a portion of the background burlap cover. The face of the pocket is attached to the background burlap cover and is a woven embroidered Strawtex in the shape of a fruit bowl. The back of the pocket is the portion of the background burlap cover underlying the face of the pocket. The pocket itself represents the inside of a fruit bowl into which various types of pieces of artificial fruit are disposed. Each piece of artificial fruit is individually made to the approximate three-dimensional size of the corresponding real fruit.
