anyway enough about illness...................
What you really came here for is the 'eye candy' right ????
So here it is..........................
This is a CANVAS BISCORNU.............................................................................
I spent quite some time on this little beauty and it was well worth the effort !!! ..
There are many needlepoint stitches used on this including Rhodes, Long legged
cross stitch, florentine and satin stitches with Miyuki drop beads and gold tassles !
Although I was quite poorly, I got a tremendous buzz out of making this little pincushion, which seems to be very popular at the moment !!
Variegated threads work brilliantly with this little pincushion, adding lots of interest and so pleasing to the eye ! I decided to make it 'reversible' by adding a
gemstone on one side and a chinese enamelled button on the other side !
I shall certainly make more biscornus in canvas.....such fun and a great result !!!
Just to finish off today...........Hubby and doggy 'MAX' huddled up together
in front of the telly.........................................
Have a great week end folks, stay happy and thanks for popping by...................

ReplyDeleteit really is beautiful! It must have taken hours of work. Did you make the pattern up yourself?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work.
ReplyDeleteI am quite fascinated by photos of biscornus and have yet to make one. As always your colour combinations Chris are fantastic. Glad to hear you are on the road to recovery and hubby and Max certainly looked comfy and tucked in.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work Chris, like the way the cushion "floats" in air great job.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are getting better, Max and Dave look Comfy, I hope they are looking after you? XX

One word comes to mind -- FUN! What a beautiful biscornu. I'm glad to know that you enjoyed stitching it because I certainly enjoyed looking at it.
ReplyDeleteGlad to know that you're on the mend. :)
Wonderful depth of colour fantastic stitches. Glad to hear you are on the mend.
ReplyDeleteThis is more than eye candy, it is a jewel! Really, really beautiful. By placing it on a pedestal for the photo shoot you make it look like a display in a jeweller's window.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you are feeling better now.
