close to home, tea strainer by Margaret Coote

I thought this would segue nicely into our next theme!

This is a silver tea strainer given to me by my mother. I think it belonged to some very proper ancestor of ours. It's covered with all this beautiful raised ornamentation. I even use it for its intended purpose once in a while!


I sketched it last night on gray toned paper (it looks yellow-er in the scan)
