been up and at it for a good while. decided it was time to bite the bullet and just do it – the ‘cabachon’ thing. so, here is how it’s going.
i can see why these things cost so much! it goes just about as fast as applique. ^_^ and, once again, i am having the ‘not enough beads’ feelings. got lucky with this one. i have 20 of these glass pieces – not really beads, no holes. they were buttons when i bought them, but managed to ‘unglue’ the shanks to convert them. i found those green beads i used to encircle it first. they are irredescent and shine kind of pink – just like the large one! then, found those other little ones that are pinky/purple in the middle. the outer glass is probably more turquoise, but looks green enough on the green fabric. having a good time and learning as i go. now all i need is double hours in each day! ^_^
just tried to add a new category and couldn’t. what’s up with that?? so, will use uncategorized for now.
