I wasn't sure where my gaps would be in the embroidery, so I wanted to make sure there was a colored background to complement the beads.<br /><br />I plan to edge them in black with brick stitch. It's my go to stitch for edging embroidery and should give the shapes a clean edge.Vanishing Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16634686005556883975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517320857059375777.post-26114942252732867892012-01-30T07:06:18.761-08:002012-01-30T07:06:18.761-08:00Very cool idea!

I also love the juxtaposition of the angular shape with the curved design elements. Wow!!!<br /><br />Question... How do you color the stiff stuff?<br /><br />Another suggestion for the fold is to use copper or silver tubing. But definitely bending it around something will help. If you use an edge stitch to join the two halves, slight differences won't matter.<br /><br />I can't wait to see how these look beaded!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700778413231259614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517320857059375777.post-33092985914972414462012-01-29T00:17:41.619-08:002012-01-29T00:17:41.619-08:00Hello KJ!

I'm hoping that I don't end up with tension so tight that the edges shrink and refuse to match up when I'm ready to fold it over. I'll find out on Monday I guess. Thanks for the input.<br /><br />BackstoryBeads, I was out of printer ink and figured this would be the best way to transfer my design. Oooohhh, I wonder if you can run Lacy's through a printer? Need to find out someday.Vanishing Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16634686005556883975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517320857059375777.post-7262771907238935462012-01-28T19:40:07.672-08:002012-01-28T19:40:07.672-08:00Fantastic project idea!

I have followed the BJP for a while. <br /><br />I think a flat fold might be tricky or uncooperative, so allow me to make a suggestion: fold the piece over a tube (I am thinking drinking straw size) and use that tube to accommodate the "strung on....something......" part of your design.KJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02839682837427981888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517320857059375777.post-11448213073382067902012-01-28T12:25:45.573-08:002012-01-28T12:25:45.573-08:00Tamara,
