Back somewhere around the second week of November I decided I wanted to give a Biscornu a try. So I sat down and started designing (took a couple days) and after the stitching was done I checked out a couple of online tutorials then sat down to see if I could put what I read into a proper finish.
It was so much easier than I thought it would be, but then came the search for the perfect button for the top (waited 3 weeks to find them), I just love the scroll work with the crystal. I chose a heart for the bottom since it already had stitched hearts.
I was amazed at how nice it turned out.
I really do think I have become addicted to stitching small items.
Is there a 12 step program out there for this addiction?
Maybe blogs that encourage this addiction would be better. LOL

Stitched on 32ct. cream linen using DMC threads and Mill Hill petite beads.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful biscornu. Congratulations on your first one.
ReplyDeleteYour biscornu is beautiful. You are so talented.
ReplyDeleteYou did a lovely job on the design and on the finishing. You gave me a great idea. Last time I was in Shanghai, I came a cross a marvelous button shop and was at a loss as to what I might buy the buttons for. Now I know. So next time I go, I will buy some cool looking ones that would go nicely on a biscornu. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the Biscornu! I'm addicted to smalls too and really feel like I'm missing something if I don't do a couple of them a month between the larger projects.
ReplyDeleteIt is very pretty, I like the design. They can also be very addictive.
ReplyDeleteVery nice I love the buttons you have used too.
