Pink Flower Stumpwork

This project was developed with the idea of making a series of stumpwork designs that would give beginners practice with certain techniques.

In this project, the focus is on detached wired shapes and covered beads which are a couple of my favorite techniques for creating dimension. 

I have loads of ideas for more such projects, and as always it's a matter of time and maybe a little bit of focus to get to them all. But first, I'm in the midst of a new crewel work project which are my other favorite type of embroidery. I hope to have 2016's first finish soon!!

Keep warm everyone, it's mighty cold out there right now!
