It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas
This year, perhaps more so than others, I have had the time to pursue one of my hobbies which brings me great joy every Christmas. All these Christmas baubles, and more besides, were hand beaded with sequins and pins by me across the course of this year. I have a Christmas tradition. I bead Christmas baubles for a select group of friends every year.
Each bauble is 15 centimetres in diameter and contain hundreds of sequins, varying in number depending upon the complexity of the pattern and the type of sequins I use. Depending upon the colour of the sequin, I will use either a gold or a silver pin to attach it to the bauble.
These baubles are smaller than some others I do, however because they can have complex patterns which starts from the inside and are worked outwards in ever larger circles, each bauble takes approximately 1 to 2 1/2 hours per side. I’ll let you work out how many hours, days or weeks there are here.
It is however, a labour of love which I do to pass the time throughout the year.
This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a monthly challenge called “Freestyle On The Fifth”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each month, and the image is to be posted on the 5th of the month.
This month the theme, “Christmas magic” was chosen me.
I thought a presentation of my handmade Christmas baubles suited the theme very well.
