A few weeks ago there was an exhibition in our Civic Hall. This time it was by local wood turners. The Civic Hall (not the Town Hall, by the way!) happens to be on my route into town so it was very tempting to wander in to have a look. I bought three small wooden vases. Now these are for presents eventually but need something to 'brighten them up'. I'm hoping to do a flower for each. Not a 'stand up' sort of flower but a 'droopy' fantasy sort!!! Well, I know what I mean!!! Hopefully it will work!!!!
I did this last night for a 'tester'. It's nowhere near what I hope to eventually finish up with (this is some nasty coloured thread that I'm trying to 'use up') BUT it has lead me to think of something 'new' for an earring out of it. Well, out of the first row or two. I've squashed it on the scanner but it actually is sort of 3D. The first 'ring' is worked as in covering a cabone ring but this time I worked over one of those tiny split rings (like a jump ring but without the gap). Fewer picots on this (2 fewer) will make it more 3D and nearer what I'm looking for.
There may be a 'gap' in my blog this week as an invasion of grandboys is happening!!!

I like the texture and lines of this design. Very beautiful. Have fun with the grandboys invasion!
