Elf Shoes
Tonight I finished my first ornament for the ornament swap Beautiful Daughter #1 and I are doing. Lousy photos though. I'll have figure out a way to take a picture without shadows or blurs or at an angle which doesn't catch the detail.
The Fabric is Amy Butler. I used an elf shoe pattern from this link. The "cuff" and the hanging loop are folded ribbon. The shoe was sewn, stuffed, and hand beaded. I tried a pompom at the point of the shoe, but Beautiful Daughter said it didn't work, so I tried the jingle bell. Better?
And the other side of the elf shoe. I purposely didn't match the patterns on the two sides, which in my OCD nature, I would have, but this way, whoever receives it can choose the side they like best. Like 2 for 1.
So, that's it for tonight.
