When I get home later this week, I’ll cut these out of the hoop and turn them into brooches. You know I’ll share them when they’re done.
Now it’s time to tell you about my next project, though. Two months ago at our monthly Craft Saturday, Adrienne’s young daughter, Belle saw one of my heart brooches and loved the sparkle. Then she showed me her drawing of a dragon standing on its hind legs. I told her that if she drew a sleeping dragon, I’d stitch and create a goldwork brooch from her drawing.
This is the drawing she handed to me at our last craft day. I’ve only changed the size to make it easier to add the goldwork elements for a brooch. Now that I’ve finished my other brooches, I’ll start this piece…and I’m really excited to create a dragon brooch for her. Updates in the near future.
Your heart embroideries are beautiful - I'm particularly fond of the pink one with roses. I am eager to see what you do with the dragon - it should be so much fun to be creative with that delightful creature! And I can't imagine how much she will enjoy having one of her drawings turned into a sparkly brooch! She should be tickled pink - or green - or purple - or gold - whatever color a dragon is... (-; So very sweet of you!

DeleteHi Lois:
DeleteThank you so much! I still need to add the sword to the pink one, but I'm waiting for some to arrive in rose gold because the gold ones I have are too gold, and the silver ones are inappropriate, too. I'm anxious to begin the dragon. I know it's going to be fun. You know I'll be sharing updates as I work on it.
Happy weekend, dear.

The hearts are beautiful but oooh I do love me a dragon!!! I even have a resident dragon in my studio - her name is Ellyron.
ReplyDeleteHi MA:
DeleteI'm excited to create the dragon, too! Oh, you'll have to share pictures of your Ellyron! I'd love to see her.

ReplyDeleteHi Sherry:
DeleteThanks so much, dear. I'm having fun choosing supplies, and I hope I can do her wee drawing justice as a completed brooch. We'll see.

Beautiful hearts, and those itty bitty tiny roses.
ReplyDeleteThe dragon will be such a treasure and wonderful memory for Belle.
