Just a few more hand sewn block beads to add to my collection. They start out as an inch wide, but after stuffing sometimes they expand. The addition of felt balls makes them even bigger.
I made this piece of fabric this week with all my leftover strips. The skulls are from the Frida cards I have been making. Since I am going to be in a one day Day of The Dead show I was thinking about making a new necklace to wear. I'll get about 7 fabric blocks out of this piece so I am curious to see how they might string together later this week.
I am so happy to have a quiet cool Sunday ahead of me. There are some gardening chores to attend to.Just a few weeks ago I had a hundred hot pink flowers to photograph. Now the remnants of petals are all that these plants have to prove that they were once fabulous and the stars of the garden.
If you have time to relax this morning please take a peak at some of my favorite bead blogger links.
