Things have been busy lately. Last weekend I was out of town for a women's convocation, which was wonderfully uplifting and inspiring and very fun. Also, I laughed and laughed and got very little sleep, so I've been playing catch-up all week. Now back to the encrusted class.... When I put this curved piece in the corner, I hadn't really planned for this to be a fan, so the curve wasn't right, the pink piece wasn't symmetrical, etc. So I spent a lot of time fudging things and trying to camouflage the unevenness. Then, I just couldn't stop adding things to this fan. Oh, it just needs a little more dark pink, now some cream, what about more beads - rick-rack, pearls, you name it! But I am very happy with the way it came out. Meanwhile, I removed some boring lace, changed the other curved seam and went shopping! Two steps forward and one step back....oh, well..
Happy Stitching!

Lin, your fan is beautiful!
It was the right place to put it :)
That is SO beautiful!
Lovely! The iridescent rick rack is great.
Lovely design, I just love it.
Gorgeous Fan. I love the way it looks! Those ribbons are amazing. About 2mm? What fun.
Thanks for your kind comments, ladies. Susan, the small rose is made from 2mm silk ribbon - the trios of lazy daisy stitches are done with Pearl Crown Rayon, but it's the untwisted type. It's a little harder to work with, but I like the effect.
This is freakin' gorgeous!
Your fan is gorgeous!
