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.

    Definitely 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!

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