[Rose]

[mauveme]

Brilliant, very well done. Did you enjoy the assembly. That's my fav part.

[carolynbb]

Oh, that's so cute!!

[agi]

Lovely!

[kazzi29]

thats so good! i dont think i caould do one they look so fiddly to put together

[Sarah Gixxer]

Oh, that's so pretty! I love the design and the colours.

[Lessa54]

Lovely work. All these biscornus popping up are really tempting me to try one. Must hold firm to current project though before starting anything new.

You'd be surprised - they're much easier than they look. Give it a go - you know you want to really! I can pretty much guarantee you'll be hooked after the first one! I think biscornu might actually be the stitchers' equivalent to heroin!

[K1nS]

I love it grub, well done

[Charmed]

its fab!! I've never done one either?! looks interesting....... does anyone know where I could find the instructions for one?? I might consider giving one a go?!

But if you just google "biscornu tutorial" you will find many more... I find this is easy to follow - and after the first one you won't need any instructions, anyway It is very simple.

[Angel]

It's very pretty!

[Catwoman]

That's pretty.

[ellay]

That's really pretty. Is it used for anything or just decoration - please excuse my ignorance.

[Nachstenliebe]

Very nice! I'm not sure what biscornus are for either...

[Mabel Figworthy]

Well done!

As for the question what biscornus are for I think they exist for the same reason that the duck-billed platypus does...

seriously, you can use them as pincushions, lavender sachets, Christmas tree ornaments, or if you make a VERY BIG ONE, a footstool, but I think they just are

Pretty! Well done!

Thanks!! I had a look and have now decided to give one a bash after I finish some other projects looks simple enough.....(famous last words ) *goes to scour the internet for a freebie biscornu pattern*

First of all thanks for all the kind words, it was my first and now yes i do want to another one but not just yet.

Charmed, any patten will do as long as its the same size and you have to do 2 but not the same patten ,,you can if you want its up to you.
give it a go as it is a lot of fun ,very fiddly afterwards but the finish is rewarding.
