A magic wand

I finished the magic wand using the seed beads, crystals, and tear drops!  I then moved over and tent stitched the heels using black Mandarin floss....more shoes tomorrow!

Surprise in the mail!

She sent the scissors, two magnets, square sequins, buttons, yellow beads and a nice collection of needles!
Thanks again Sheena!  I still go and try and answer her question of the day as it is fun!

Oops!

I thought I would be starting the shoes with the next bag!  But, I was wrong....I had to do the broom wrappings first!  They are padded and then stitched with Fyre Werks to create the bandings and are quite shiny and make the brooms complete now!  Next up is the magic wand and I have started by putting in a few of the beads.

And the straw, too!

 I did the last step on the brooms by adding the Limited Edition raffia on top of the Burmilana and they really do look like a broom!  And, like Ruth says,"they are brooms, they don't have to be perfect!"  Love it!
So, it is time to open the 3rd bag of goodies and here they are.....looks like shoes to me!

All in

All of the Burmilana is stitched in the brooms!  Love it!  Next up....adding the raffia!

Still stitching straw

I have finished all of the dark Burmilana outline stitch on both brooms and have started filling in the one on the left with the lighter color.  since they are a focal point, they are taking a bit of time, but definately worth it!

Weaving and...

Weaving a spider web was first up using Access Commodities Metallic and some silver Sparkle to tack it in place!  Next up, the dark Burmilana using a split Outline stitch.  I am filling in the dark lines and shading first.
