February BJP

In an effort to better understand the decrease/step-up sequence, I worked this ornament in alternating panels of red and green. 3mm crystals encircle the bottom section.

January BJP 20121

For BJP 2012 I will be making twelve Christmas ornaments. The basic shape is from a pattern by Paula Adams to which I will be changing color placement/embellishment. The ornament measures approximately 3" in length. I did have trouble identifying the step-up when it fell at a decrease. Guess the next ornament will have to address that issue.

Using matte finish, opaque beads sure makes taking a photograph so much easier! But, for the tree, it has to be silver lined beads. This panel isn't quite finished in that it needs decorative edges, but for now it will have to wait.
