A Bright and Happy 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 outside and are worked inwawards in ever decreasing 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.
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 23rd of December is "Christmas Collage", and as I seldom get to showcase all my baubles together, I thought they would make the ideal choice for this week. I hope you like my choice for the theme, and that it makes you smile!
As this is the last "Smile on Saturday" before Christmas, I should just like to take this opportunity to wish everyone in the group a very happy Festive Season. May it be filled with happiness and joy for you all.
