Ah not a nice day to wear colours :S
When it was my birthday six months ago, a very dear friend who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions. She also gave me three follow up tins of similar delightful gifts for Christmas.
Those wonderful gifts are what has inspired me to create this series of "Embroider my World" images featuring my vintage bobbin collection. In this case, the wonderfully delicate net baric embroidered with minute blue and pale pink sequins I bought yesterday from a shop that specialises in luxurious and unusual fabrics. I could hardly wait to use it! The fabric was manufactured in Milan. I have accessorised them on a 1930s embroidered tablecloth with two Dewhurst's Sylko Peach Rose reels of cotton which dates from between 1938 and 1954 and a small Edwardian cotton reel of soft Kingfisher Blue made by J. P. Coats.
Belle Vue Mill, commonly known as Dewhurst’s, was built by Thomas Dewhurst in 1828. It opened in 1829 as John Dewhurst & Sons and was one of Skipton’s largest spinning and weaving mills. The mill’s position next to the Leeds Liverpool Canal meant that raw cotton could be shipped in by boats from Liverpool. Finished goods would then be sent back the same way ready for distribution. Coal to power the machine’s steam engines was also delivered by barge. In 1897 Dewhurst’s was bought by the English Sewing Cotton Co. It continued to produce Sylko, one of the mill’s most famous products. It was produced in over 500 colours and sold throughout the world. Sylko cottons are still available at haberdashers today.
In 1802 James Coats set up a weaving business in Paisley. In 1826 he opened a cotton mill at Ferguslie to produce his own thread and, when he retired in 1830, his sons, James & Peter, took up the business under the name of J. & P. Coats. In 1952 J. & P. Coats and the Clark Thread Co. merged to become Coats & Clark's. Today, the business is known as the Coats Group.
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.
I have a Flick friend for whom I made this bauble in appreciation for her generosity in spirit. She has been like a ray of light. This bauble, made deliberately in Mardi Gras colours because I know how much she likes the celebration, is a thank you gift.
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. Most sequins in this bauble are 5mm in diameter, except the stars which are 10mm. Depending upon the colour of the sequin, I will use either a gold or a silver pin to attach it to the bauble. I always leave the flowers until last, allowing a gap in the sequin chain to pin them in.
These baubles are smaller than some others I do, and because it is a simple pattern which starts from the inside and is worked outwards in ever larger circles, each bauble takes approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours per side.
It is however, a labour of love which I do to pass the time throughout the year.

I have a Flick friend for whom I made this bauble in appreciation for her generosity in spirit. She has been like a ray of light, particularly this year. This bauble, made deliberately in Mardi Gras colours because I know how much she likes the celebration, is a thank you gift.

Most sequins in this bauble are 5mm in diameter, except the flower petal sequins which are 8mm in diameter and the star sequins, which are 3mm in diameter. The flower centres are raised cups and are imported from France. Depending upon the colour of the sequin, I will use either a gold or a silver pin to attach it to the bauble.

Having removed clear iridised sequins from an old scarf they were (temporarily!) placed in a cup for safekeeping and forgot about until rediscovered this week. For Macro Mondays From the Top. (thank you Kez West)
I was wearing my gold sequin clutch the other day & caught a web of disco lights:)
Happy bokeh Wednesday!

This smattering of celestial sequins is a spiral galaxy named NGC 4455, located in the northern constellation of Coma Berenices (Berenice’s Hair). This might sound like an odd name for a constellation — and in fact it is somewhat unusual. It’s the only modern constellation to be named in honor of a real person from history: Queen Berenice II of Egypt.
The story of Queen Berenice II is an interesting one. A ruling queen of the ancient Greek city of Cyrene in modern-day Libya, and later a queen of Ptolemaic Egypt through her marriage to her cousin Ptolemy III Euergetes, Berenice became known for sacrificing locks of her hair as an offering to ensure her husband’s safe return from battle. Her husband did indeed return safely, and her hair, which she had left in a Zephyrium temple, had disappeared — it had apparently been stolen and placed among the stars.
Should it be located in NGC 4455, it traveled a long way. The galaxy is about 45 million light-years away. This image was taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope’s Advanced Camera for Surveys.

I have a quart jar full of round sequins of several sizes and lots of colors. Most of these (I would say at least 80%) are left over from the multitude of projects and ornaments I have made over the last 50+ years.
Dominic had a friend who was celebrating a birthday on Saturday. On the way to drop him off for the party, I had to stop at GameStop and the Hallmark store to get a gift card and birthday card. While at the Hallmark store, I spied these ruby red sequin slippers, a la The Wizard of Oz. I had to have them. I'm not normally an impulse buyer, but these were the cutest things I've ever seen. I love bling (if you hadn't noticed, ha!) and I love comfort... combine bright red sequins with the softest fleece ever and well... Holly now looks like Dorothy every night in her jammies. :) Perfect for the Macro Mondays circle theme and cute to boot. Though I got two photos I loved, this one with the bow on top and bit of flare won for the submission.
I'm not really sure if this is glittery enough for this weeks theme, but I wanted to get lots of colour and I loved the bokeh. This is a close up of my daughters sequin art project, two tropical fish.
