Christmas Tree 2012

These Christmas baubles have all been hand beaded with sequins and pins by me. I have a Christmas tradition. I bead one Christmas bauble 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 image and the type of sequins I use. Most sequins I use in my work are 5mm in diameter. The exceptions are 8mm. Depending upon the colour of the sequin, I will use either a gold or a silver pin to attach it to the bauble.

 

The baubles take approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours and this is why my select group of friends only get one each year!

 

It is however, a labour of love which I do to pass the time throughout the year.
