here is my first biscornu


i will be using this for the friendship exchange too

Nice!!!!

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

Oh, that's so cute!!

Lovely!

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

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

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!

I love it grub, well done

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.

It's very pretty!

That's pretty.

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

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

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.
