Pretty in Pink
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" on the 7th of April is "pink colour" where the subject of the photo is not important; but the colour pink should be
the only colour, the main colour or the eye-catcher of the image. What a perfect theme to have, because, I have lots of pink things around my house. However, rather than use one of them, I decided to sit down and bead a Christmas bauble. Yes, I know it's only Easter, but I have many to make before Christmas time, and each one takes time to make. If I make them across the course of the year, it makes the job of beading each one easier.
This Christmas bauble, set on a backdrop of pink tissue paper, 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. This one has been made for a little girl of four, who like many little girls, loves the colour pink. I hope she will enjoy hanging it on her Christmas tree this year.
Each bauble is completely hand beaded and takes between two and three hours to make, depending upon the complexity of the pattern. This pattern uses some especially small sequins that are only two millimeters in diameter, so they can take up a lot of time to place. I do hope that you like my choice for the theme and that it makes you smile.
