A Christmas Gift Made with Love
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" on the 9th of December is "Christmas decoration in black and white". What a perfect theme to have, because I had to look no further than my craft basket for inspiration.
This Christmas bauble was hand beaded with sequins and pins by me. I have a Christmas tradition. I bead Christmas baubles for a select group of friends every year and give them as gifts. I take several photos of each one on my tree before I wrap them up, so that I have a visual record of what I have given to whom. This one has already winged its way half way across the world and arrived at its destination, where I hope it is now hanging with its counterparts on my friend’s Christmas tree.
I decided to use this shot for today's theme because without the distraction of colour, you will notice that my baubles feature different kinds of sequins: in this case, round one, stars and flowers. I know flowers are not necessarily something one associates with Christmas, however these are not ordinary Christmas baubles, even if I do say so myself. Each one takes between two and three hours to make, depending upon the complexity of the pattern. I do hope that you like my choice for the theme and that it makes you smile.
