This is the completed block,under the water theme.
My little mermaid is swimming up ,holding a pearl in her left hand and pulling herself up on the chain of the anchor with her right hand. I used sequins for her body part of her tail and beads for the the end of the tail.There is also a mix of glass beads ,real shells ,gold and silver charms,with novelty yarns, metallic floss and silk ribbon.
She is going to be so tickled!! This is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comments about my work, I love working on these blocks. It is always a challenge for me to know when to stop . I love encrusted but it is not everyone`s style. I hope she like`s it.
