My Beloved
My beloved is white and ruddy, outstanding among ten thousand.
His head is purest gold; his hair is wavy and black as a raven.
His eyes are like doves by the water streams, washed in milk, mounted like jewels.
His cheeks are like beds of spice yielding perfume. His lips are like lilies dripping with myrrh.
His arms are rods of gold set with topaz. His body is like polished ivory decorated with lapis lazuli.
His legs are pillars of marble set on bases of pure gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, choice as its cedars.
His mouth is sweetness itself; he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.
Song of songs 5:10-16
My Beloved has been created inside a tealight lantern. The color scheme is, as the title suggests, "white and ruddy". On the floor there is a cheese platter sent by an Australian miniature colleague, waiting for the Beloved to arrive.
Six full-length curtains in scale have been crocheted from sewing thread. Afterwards, I calculated that approximately 340,000 stitches went into the curtains, and they contain a total of 3,200 double crochets (dc/US) / treble crochets (tr/UK). The chair cushion is likewise covered with a crocheted cover made from sewing thread.
