Mixed Medium

When I found out that both my brothers, and their partners, were expecting babies this year, and they would both be girls, I decided to make something for them. I looked through my craft books and on the web and came up with an project by amalgamating all of these ideas.




I liked Rosalie Quinlan's and Chloe Owens idea of birds on a beaded string. I also like Chloe's idea of a mobile with flowers and butterflies.

 

I gathered some supplies together, covering a wooden hoop with bias and cutting out some shapes.

I sewed them and stuffed them. I embellished them with ric rac, buttons and embroidery.

Then I attached them to the hoop with beaded strands and criss crossed the wire across the hoop to attach the final beaded strand. I think it worked out quite well.

Talk again soon
