I am finally finished with my 'beading project challenge.' Phew! Didn't think I'd get it done. I am pleased with the final results, tho. Originally, I meant to use a piece of Laurel Burch Kitty fabric, but then changed my mind. So my next attempt was with a Horseshoe Nail Cross (given to me by Mary's hubby, Kit.) I had planned to make it into a pin, but then changed it to a small piece of wall art. I've used velvet, felt, fiber, raffia, size 11, 13 & 15 beads. It was fun! (Thanks Kit...for the inspiration piece.) (Stole Mary's idea to add a little fringe on the bottom.) Did I say, "Fun!!"
Wow, it really turned out wonderfully, I love the way you put the ribbons so subtly in the background, kind of repeating the cross in the foreground. You did good! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful, Kit is a dear. Not sure which one of you did this but you did a great job.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jan & Marlene, for your compliments. I'm happy with the results and very, very glad that it's finished. Kit is a gem, and I'm so glad that he gave me this cross. Hope he likes the results!
ReplyDeleteMary said: Yes...April did this beautiful piece. April...It just turned out beautiful. I can see how you got carried away and turned it into a little wall hanging. I really like the look of the fringy (is that a word???) type thread you used. It just is perfect...FANTASTIC!
