CONTENTMENT!

Oh....I'm such a happy camper when I have handwork to keep me busy at night.....my broken fingers still hurt of course, but I'm managing to use a needle anyway!

I found a package of real metal beads on sale in a craft store, probably at least 2 years ago. Though my first instinct was to marry this piece of resist dyed & felted wool with brass embellishments, a yearning to use the metal treasures couldn't be overlooked.

Working with these tiny felted designs has taken some getting used to.  This one is 6.5" wide x 5.5" tall. Editing is super important and difficult for someone like me who LOVES to add 'stuff'.

As you can see, it's still a work in progress...you can see how it began here and hopefully in a day or so, I'll be posting the finished piece.  So check back, won't you??

One final thing....I KNOW it can be difficult to figure out those crazy letters in the word recognition comment section......  I tried removing that requirement twice now.  Sorry, I've had to put it back on.  Just overnight last night I got 11 spam comments.  Don't these people have anything else to do with their time?  Clearly they are not a quilter!!!
