Bushel of Ornaments Continued



Mini Wall Art Quilt
6" x 6"

It's completed!  This is my version of a Mini Wall Art Quilt Ornament. Each one of those little crystals and adornments on the black felt and trees were painstakingly attached, one by one.  It looks a lot better in person.  I'm almost tempted to keep it for myself because a lot of work really went into this.

Materials: felt, rayon, corduroy, fiberfill, crystals, beads, buttons, embroidery floss, trim, misc embellishments. Hand stitched.



Feather Fly-Away
6" x 7" including feathers
4" x 4" wreath

Last night, ideas came flooding to me regarding this piece that was previously posted.  I wound hand-dyed fly-away yarn in between each of the beads which gives it a look of more fullness and aesthetic appeal.  The yarn is blended into a combination of running blue and sea green colors.  It's so beautiful, I'm always very selective what to use it on.

Each of the feathers had to be individually attached with Fabri-Tac which makes this a delicate ornament.  Everything is holding well and very secure.  I would have been more comfortable wiring the feathers onto the wreath instead; but, there weren't any stems to use. 

The final touches, each teeny tiny bead was also individually set.
