I made another Christmas tree. This one has sequins on both sides.
The plastic is a blue/green sparkly number.
It also has a hanging loop, so you can hang it on a Christmas tree, but it can be free standing as well.

Latest Sanderson & Sanderson Production
3D printed Christmas Ornaments. There are two pieces and they click together.
I created a base of cross stitch (reversible cross stitch – no less), and then used beads and sequins to make them blingy. I think I prefer the sequins.

Gold Work Embroidery
This tern at Tresillian we are making a gold work Four leaf clover.
My fabric is a deep-purple silk (it is looking blue in the photo). My passing thread is not the best, but I enjoyed the chipping.
I have the stalk still do and then a few decorative bits around the outside – sequins, beads, etc.
The centre will be hidden by some kind of bling.
It is a lovely project and I think it will be finished in term time (rather than dragging on like most of the projects).

Pulled Thread Work Trees
I finished my pulled thread work trees!
I used AI to remove the reflections in the glass, so it might not look exactly like my piece, but it is pretty close.
I used a range of different fibres – cotton floss, pearl cotton, silk, wool, silk ribbon, organza ribbon, and weird thread I bought from the Thread Studio.
The back ground is a silk hemp fabric, which I painted using inktense pencils.
I am quite pleased with how this project turned out.

Trees Update
I have started working on the roots – a mixture of french knots and drizzle stitch. I thought I would try a cast on stitch for some fungi as well.

Paper Embroidery
I have been experimenting with my Cricut to make perforated card for stitching. I found the svg file at Wild Olive.
Here I am doing a bit of stitching on it.
I was thinking, you’re not limited to cross stitch, I could put the holes anywhere.

3D Printed Frog
I finished another 3D printed piece – this time a frog.
I have used various canvas work stitches (from here) and Cosmo cotton floss. I love this floss, so far I just have solid colours, but I might need to get some variegated thread.

And more new threads!
I bought new threads from Maison Sajou – metallic ones – I bought boxes 1 and 2. They arrive from France to Australia in less than a week! Things from the other side of the country take longer.

Embroidery, String Art and 3D Printing
I have been experimenting with 3D printing. This is a circle with 15 equally spaced holes on the circumference, and I made a complete graph (Each hole is joined to every other hole).
I think if the base was circular this would make a lovely brooch.
The thread is a random reel that I bought from the Embroiderer’s Guild backroom.
