May has been a cold month so far. We even had snow flurries the other day. Where are the sunny, warm days of spring?
I've made a little progress on crewel flower #2. The dark blue seems to make the other colours pop.
A couple seam treatments are in progress on the new purple project CQ block. Don't you love the zing of that green rayon thread?
French knots for the flower centers.
The butterfly and daisies are awaiting needle and thread.
I'm pleased with this so far.
I've been playing with Sheila Heneise's Angel with Paisley Wings.
It's a cute little angel
I added beads for the halo and to the skirt bottom to add a bit of weight.
On the fourth angel, I changed the starting point to close with a split ring for the head. This way I can incorporate a hanger from the thread ends. The beads on the skirt, though, are too big. I played with the stitch counts here and there. I think I like the shape of the first one best, but I also like the small beads. I'm in the middle of tatting angel #5. These are so cute, and small enough to include in a card, so I may be making more of these for Christmas.
That's my week. I hope yours has been a fun and creative one.
Thanks for visiting.
Hugs from Suz
