Red and Gold Update

Red and Gold Update

I spent a long weekend working on my red and gold project. I really enjoyed myself and stitched till my fingers hurt. I’m just not so sure I like what I’ve done. I’d remove the beads, but it’d leave holes.
I plan on making it into a book jacket, so we’ll see. I think I’ll put it up for a week or so and have a look at it again,then.

This beauty is blooming outside the house where I babysit. I wonder how these blossoms would look printed on fabric and embellished? Or maybe appliqued on a green blender background?

Yellow beads or French knots? Martha Stewart recently aired instructions on making a “burned silk flower.” Hmmmmn? Coral silk? Gold or yellow Angelina film for the stamens?

I did a search for Angelina fibers and found sources and tutorials! I hope http://www.embellishmentvillage.com/ won’t mind if I borrow a photo since I plan to order from them very soon! They also have sequin medallions, which I had not seen before. Wouldn’t they be great for embellishing and adding to a cray quilt project?
