Companion Ornament



Sequin wonderland! My first time actually using sequins, I kind of went crazy...

Christmas Ornmaent

The weaving, removed from the "loom" (below)
A nice view of the piece from the bottom, the sheen is from a few heavy coatings of clear acrylic, to secure the warp ends (though they were woven onto the twigs, there were irregularities in security-trial and error!), the glass bead (faux pearl) securing the shell.
The finished piece, next post should have its companion piece hung up on a plant for display.
The "loom" before weaving.
Comparison of the tapestry needle to the piece it wove- wow!
