Thank you, Cecilia. *blush*
Faith - the butterfly design will be a little while yet, but I'm working on it.

And here's the March biscornu.

Materials: Unknown 28-count evenweave from Polstitches grab bag; Madeira silks 0514 10 and 1407 12; gold glass seed beeds from a broken necklace; gold filigree buttons; white ribbon; soft toy stuffing
And here's how my little collection looks now:

Stunning in purple!
Are all your biscornu the same size? If so WHAT?? (please!! I may have missed you telling us what size fabric you're using....

I'm using different fabrics, so each one says in the post with the pics what fabric I'm using. They're all different sizes depending on what design and fabric I use.wendywombat wrote:Stunning in purple!

The first two were stitched on 18-count ecru aida, the third one was stitched on 28-count evenweave of an unknown colour from a Polstitches grab bag (it has pinky-browny-goldy tones through it).
THe colour of the thread didn't come out too clearly on the third one - it's more a deep burgundy colour than a purple and goes very nicely with the goldy-green I used on the back.
And thank you for the compliments everyone - I'm sitting here blushing!
