ABC of getting it done

Sunday, September 22, 2013

I has a happy dance :)... and it's another WIP too! whoo hoo!

Lizzie Kate's   "ABC's of Aging Artfully ". I hadn't touched it in a long time... since I wanted to make changes - add buttons, beads, charms and of course some sparkly Kreinik thread! This took quite a while, as I wanted just the right items :)   and inspiration finally took hold of me.. and I finished it!

So here it is!

and some close-ups of the details...

charm butterfly

beaded flower

button rose

Beads on the gold square too, that match the thread

I couldn't find a chocolate charm.. 

so I guess a whole chocolate cake will do!

oh yeah

 square beads for jello - secured with Kreinik

The spoon is made of stitched/woven Kreinik

I think it turned out pretty good

more charms and buttons

accent on letter is Kreinik

with a small heart button

and more beads at end

Tried to make the books look more 3-D, 

so I used a padded stitch

- cross stitch and then long stitches on top

I changed the house design a bit, 

adding a window and bead on door

with different stitches for roof and fence

 and beads on the tree

Love the bird button :)

more charms and beads

Two sizes of beads on the flowers

and of course Kreinik for the bee wings!

So another WIP done.

whoo hoo!

I think I'll work on the rest of my WIPs

and maybe get them all done by the end of this year.

But which one's next?

I might have a few to pick from....

unless some Mill Hill's get in the way...

That's another story...
