I thought I would have a crack at making Christmas ornaments for the Perfumed Waters Swap, and some for my tree, and for mum in law's tree, and a few little pressies.
I like small fast projects that can be done in a few days.
These little Chrimbo trees are done on silk velvet in Goldwork embellished with crystals and sequins from the Fabulous Trim shop in Walthamstow Market. I used free colouring in book pages for the designs.
I like the way the bright check purl on the one on the left looks like tinsel!
I also do like the way they all look together, though they will be cut up, and stuffed and turned into individual ornaments.
Maybe next year I will make a more sophisticated Plaque, using posher crystals and more gold, and leave them all together. But this year I have too many bits and pieces planned for different people.
