Bead Embroidery UPDATED Jan 11 2013

Post by LastingAllure »

I came across a Mill Hill small treasures book my mom had hidden away in the book case. I found a project in there I decided to try. I picked out some seed beads and Swarovski Crystals from my bead stash and some 32 count linen and went at her! I completed this one in about three hours:

I am currently working on a second one that is Christmas colors. I am thinking about turning them into Christmas Ornaments I think....not sure what else I could do with them.

This is beautiful! I've never tried anything like this. I think an ornament would be a nice idea :)

Lovely work, and they'd make beautiful ornaments!

(They's also make beautiful cards, although they'd probably be rather expensive to send :-( )

That is gorgeous!! Actually that would work on my mom's tree, she decorates in pink and gold.. :D So it could still be an ornament, or you could do a few in a row across as a kind of hanging? Lots of possibilities!
