Working small


Paperball wraped with gimp -
In fact like a five legged embroidered three-dimensional spider 
I ordered gimp here: http://www.stef-francis.co.uk/ - 
it is a viscose wrapped thick cotton cord



The first one was not a great success - I did it twice
The second has a nice knot in the middle and is bedded in a silk cup 


calls it a little cabbage 




We learned how to stitch on silkpaper -
I embellished with French knots and added a piece of vintage lace


What I will do with those creations? I don't know - they willl probably be
in a kind of stitch diary - a book for reference - to look at and to enjoy.

  1. Love these! I am waiting on paper balls to arrive so I can make these as well. I have paper ready to stitch on as well. Your paper sample is so very pretty.
