Pricking

Here's what the ladies do when the men are out fishing! I said you might see these cards again and here they are. When Sheral and Thelma saw them they wanted to learn how to make them. Rosemary was happy to give us a mini class and we had a great time learning this new craft. Sheral and Thelma are ready to get the supplies and make more and Rosemary was so happy they had a good time making them.
 Sheral, Thelma and Rosemary hard at work, or just having fun!

 Here are 2 of the cards I made during class. Though the pictures show the designs they are so much prettier when you can actually see them. For these we used the metallic thread, unlike Ron's birthday card where I used regular embroidery thread. When the light hits these the threads shine. Sooooo pretty!

I wanted you to see a close up of this dandelion. Remember the thread is a silver metallic and the center beads are also silver. You have to use your imagination on this one, as the design and colors are quite fun!
