baby makers - coming together

with the body of the cage complete, i can now try puting the parts together and work out the best positions for all the additions:     organdie flowers echoing the colours of some of the Mauritius flora, native and introduced: boucle d'oreille (the national flower), jacaranda, frangipani, flamboyant (flame tree), bougainvillae sea shells and coral fragments, collected from a beach in Mauritus swaddled infants, representing some of the generations of children sewing equipment - a needle case for each of the "babymakers",  scissors and thimble (when i remember where i stored them!) and the whole thing from the front i feel it needs a little more height, to give the chemise more clearance at the top and bottom, so will try another row of wirework at the bottom
