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?
This tiny dragonfly is my first attempt at beadweaving:
It wasn’t as easy as I thought it’d be, or as much fun. Oh well, it’ll make a cute little embellishment for a crazy quilt project someday.
