This is the butterfly I beaded on the edge of the silkie.
This is a gorgeous piece of lace that I bought at some fancy smancy store in Colorado. It is much prettier in person.I added gold beads to the centers of the flowers then did some dragonflies. The wings are done using silk ribbon floss..
This is the embellishing I"ve done so far on the little girl silkie. Oh how I love these little girl silkies! Maybe the fact that I have 3 boys has something to do with it. When I made "sane" quilts it was always hunting or fishing related or some kind of wild-life. Now they all have quilts of their own I can play with something more feminine and these silkies are my favorite! I"ve embellished with lots of SRE sweetheart roses and rose-buds. I have not added any leafs yet as I don"t want them to get smushed up while I finish so will save those for later..
Gotta go for now, supper is cooking...turkey and all the fixings..YUMO!!! the weather is gorgeous here today, in the 50"s. Even have a few windows open to let the fresh air in. I guess Spring IS here!
Very beautiful, I love the beading and the flowers on the silkie, I hadn't thought of doing that, I'm just new at this so am always on the lookout for new ideas.
