Handmade Monday: Poppy
If the clocks have gone back, then it must be close to Poppy Day and a really special one this year. I love poppies, but I did struggle to convert my chain maille flower into a poppy, as I couldn't find the right colour in 6mm beads and had to use rondel crystals instead which meant adjusting the weave a bit. Are all us crafters a little bit perfectionist? I must have undone this a good few times, but I think I'm happy with it now!
A short post this week, but do hop along to http://handmadeharbour.blogspot.co.uk to find out what other crafty people are doing this weekend.

Your finished poppy is beautiful, well worth all your efforts :) Yes, its set to be a particularly poignant remembrance day this year x
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely. A very special poppy. Xx
ReplyDeleteIt's a very pretty flower, it'll be quicker to make next time!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely worth all the effort! Isn't it amazing that with all the beads/fabrics/yarns we all collect, you never have the correct colour/size/thickness for the project we want to do!! One of life's mysteries!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely, and it looks great against the green.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful

ReplyDeleteIt looks so pretty, all your undoing and redoing was certainly worth it.
