Cuffs and

So first I did the rings since I was doing jewelry!  They are each a silver backed rhinestone in the center and then Mill Hill silver lined clear beads around them.  Next I stitched the cuffs in Splendor 821 and the shadows are 1005.  I did not do the black as I am thinking beads there and want to get the boa done before that.

Let's do Jewelry!

To do Sadie's necklace, I decided to try the Wonder Ribbon in Titanium.  I ordered the 6 mm a while ago and this is great stuff!  I got mine from All About Stitching and while I was there also picked up some neat beads.  http://allaboutstitching.com in case you want to check it out!  Anyway, the ribbon was too wide for the necklace so I started playing.  #1 above is how it comes off the spool.  #2 is when you take your nails and splay it apart.  #3 is where I cut it to size for the base of the necklace.  Using a size 20 needle, I took the first length to the back and tacked it down with Kreinik cord 001C which I also used to attach the Magnica 1001 beads at the painted intersections.   A necklace fit for a Floozie!

Framed!

The Snowflake by Northern Pines is framed.  Just a simple silver frame with a piece of silver lame behind it.  Another one for the wall!

Thanks for participating!

That's a dress.

Today I finished Sadie's dress.  I used Neon Rays + in 26 for the shading areas, Kreinik #12 in 003 HL for the squiggle lines, and Gold rush 14 in 46C for the rest of her dress.  On to the cuffs!

Voila! and a giveaway

Voila! is finished!  I did the rest of the tiny cross stitches with the Treasure Braid and the four way tent with Hi lights.  Next tent stitch created the last pink bulb and string art on top of those.  Last, another section of String Art with more Treasure Braid and Hi lights and the bottom bulb is fuzzy stuff! If you would like the pattern to stitch your own, I will do a giveaway so leave a comment and we will do a random drawing on Sunday.
