Macro Mondays Stitch challenge! Part of my wife's colorful wardrobe!

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.

HBW!

Taken for the Macro Mondays group "Stitch" Challenge. A small detail of sequins sewn on a Christmas stocking.

The macro mondays group’s theme for 3/16 is needle and thread; and this is one of the possibilities. I am still learning about macro on the iPhone but I do like its potential......... check out the set-up shot in the first comment box

this was not an easy theme. When I tried the needle against the sequined backdrop it was very tricky to focus.

Looking close... on Friday!

Note: Well, the Macro Monday admin removed this photo from their group. I accidentally didn’t follow a silly tag rule apparently. So, I removed myself from the group.

(I don’t mind rules that aren’t silly. However, rather than post in my comments for all to see that my photo was removed, maybe just nicely tell me first so that I can correct it)

Circles, for Macro Mondays, cut from a small piece of sequinned cloth: small shiny discs sewn on to fabric for decoration.

Found this yesterday morning..

Made it to Explore :)

മഞ്ഞിണ്റ്റെ തുള്ളിയലുക്കു വച്ചു

മുറ്റത്തു നില്‍ക്കുന്നു കന്നിച്ചെടി

കാലത്തുകാതില്‍ കുണുക്കുതന്നു

കോലായില്‍ വന്ന പുലരിവെട്ടം

തുള്ളികള്‍ കൊണ്ട്‌ തളയണിഞ്ഞു

തുള്ളിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു കള്ളിച്ചെടി

നിന്നെയും നോക്കിയിരുക്കുമെണ്റ്റെ

ഉള്ളം കുളിര്‍ന്നു നനഞ്ഞു ചെടി..

I've always been enchanted by bright shiny things. I guess I'm easy to distract. ;)

Here's a bit of historical information gleaned from Wikipedia...."Evidence exists that gold sequins were being used as decoration on clothing or paraphernalia in the Indus Valley as early as 2500 BC, during the Kot Diji phase. Solid gold sequins sewn into royal garments were found inside the tomb of Tutankhamun.

During the 1920s, after the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb, sequins witnessed a renewed popularity as a consequence of Egyptomania. The usage of sequins (typically made out of metal) were widely popularized as a fashion statement by flapper girls during this period."

Taken while looking for Sequins - a challenge in the Looking Close on Friday theme this week. I have no sequins in my wardrobe but I found loads of sequin encrusted clothes in Marks and Spencer. They look extremely uncomfortable to me and I wonder how many will be left for the January sales?

These were all gold and the red colour is the reflection of my phone cover!

Needless to say I didn’t buy!

HMM- the macromondays' theme for today is "in a row". i have two possibilities-- these rows are just over inch and a half inch tall, so axiomatically this picture is almost 2 inches wide.

For the Looking Close....on Friday group theme 'sequins' a busy time of year so take a breath and enjoy the festive season. Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to you all ;0)

Looking close... on Friday! and Sequins

These Christmas ornaments are very decorative, but they have started to go bald because they are old and a lot of sequins has fallen off.
