This Christmas bauble was hand beaded with sequins and pins by me. In usually make these baubles for others as gifts, but on occasion I make one or two baubles for myself. This is one such bauble.
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 20th of December is "sequins", so I thought I would show you this special bauble I chose to make for myself. If you would like to see the other baubles I have made as gifts for friends over the years, you can find them in this album: www.flickr.com/photos/40262251@N03/albums/72157649901152375/. I hope you like my choice of subject for this week's theme, and that it makes you smile!
As this is the last "Looking Close on Friday" 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.
Each bauble I make 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. Most sequins in this bauble are 5mm in diameter, except the large star sequins which are 10mm, the sunburst sequins which are 12 mm and the small gold border sequins which are 2mm and very, very fiddly. The sunburst sequins are French and are known as "éclate de soleil" - "sunbursts". 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 it is a complex pattern which starts from the inside and is worked outwards in ever larger circles, each bauble takes approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours per side.
It is however, a labour of love which I do to pass the time throughout the year.

An old hand or "eggbeater" drill. Still use in occasionally for fun and as a reminder of how everything took so much longer back then.
Surprisingly they are still available...
Help please.
I am working on this idea, it is a raw file, how do I isolate the shine on the hand and tone it down?
Thanks
People don't always need advice. Sometimes all they really need is a hand to hold, an ear to listen, and a heart to understand them.
For the Macro Mondays challenge: keychains.
My sister made this for me. I don't use it much as it is pretty fragile for my usual lifestyle but I really like it to look at if not to use. Happy Macro Monday

We ran into a young couple at the Oriental Gardens. They were wondering if I would use their camera to take a picture of their hands together. I asked if we could use mine instead. So we had a small impromptu photo session on just their hands and their engagement ring. I very much enjoyed working with them, trying to get the photos they were looking for.
A nice couple, and I wish them both the best.

Steve went down to the pumphouse to take photos, while we waited up on the dike.
We do a lot of handing off these days to save Molly the wear and tear of extra steps.
