I posted a photo of my 3 x 3 assemblage on Face Book today. Someone asked how I was going to attach them. I said I thought I would just tack the corners to keep from adding more stitching to the small pieces. Someone commented that I could put a bead between each piece as a spacer. My first thought was, egad, what a lot of work. But the more I thought about it, the more I liked the idea. I started the assembling tonight and it goes quite quickly. I am using my bead soup to find beads to blend in with the colors and beading thread which is strong and can hold up to the beads. I had saved the plastic cover for something I bought at Costco, I think. It is perfect for holding my supplies.
I think I will enjoy the meditative aspect and handling each little piece.
Here is my drawing from today – my keys.
Our sweet little granddaughter, Paige, has had one ear infection after another. Today, she had tubes put in her ears. Surgery was successful, and, she woke up smiling!
The beads are a good idea – look classy. Good drawing of your keys – keep it up – practice, practice, practice. Love, Del
I think the beads will add beautifully to the work. Paige is such a doll & growing so quickly. Happy Creating.
Paige is growing so quickly and is just so adorable. Who wakes from surgery looking that cute?!! I love the bead spacer idea! It is kind of like a rosary for the year. 🙂 Have a good rest of the week.
