Over the holiday season I decided to work on a variation of the Poppy Vase from
Julia Pretl's website. I did the
original version back in early 2013. It was a gift for my friend Nora, as she started her new job.

Having completed an inventory of my delica I decided to do a vase with purple flowers. I also changed the background colour to a pale lavendar and the olive green in the leaf to a silver-lined lawn green.

During the working of the hem in the original I broke two needles and many beads. I was lucky that I only broke two beads early in this project.
Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and creative new year!
I think I like the purple "poppies" even more, Jo-Ann!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Monique! I think I might try a more orange-red poppy next.
