There was a lot of handwork in this one. In fact, the only time I used my machine was in basting the ribbons to the main basket piece. Everything else was by hand. The kit didn't actually come with quite enough beads, so I went out and purchased the little glass fluted flower head beads to use around the top edge of the basket. I think they are a nice addition with all of the pearly pink seed beads.
I think it looks so fancy! So much so, that I felt the need to procure some pretty pins to go with it. (Is it weird that I feel like my regular pins aren't pretty enough for my pincushion?) I found these beautiful pins on Etsy, from Whimsical Wool. It is true that they aren't exactly practical-- but aren't they perfect with this pincushion? Love.
You do wonderful work, this is just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLove cute pincushions, but then I don't want to use them they are just to pretty!!
ReplyDeleteThis would be perfect to hold the rings at a wedding.
ReplyDeleteThey are perfect for your pincushion! And it turned out beautifully.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and yes, I would have to buy some different pins too. I have all those yellow flat head pin and they would certainly look tacky in that little basket.
