Biscornu


I have completed the stitching for the Deruta biscornu from Giulia Punti Antichi. I popped the majolica bead (button?) on there so you can see the echoes. Seeing it this way,  I maybe should have changed the Peacock GAST that I used to something a little more aqua. Never mind, it's the Eighth Finish of Inside Time.

Last weekend has brought me such great hope. In our town, a handful of high school students organized a demonstration against racism and police brutality. About 2000 people showed up. During a pandemic. In part it's that people showed up. But much more importantly, it's the youth of the organizers. Something tells me change is on the way.

Great design and love the button. How will you attach it by the way, it appears to only have one hole?

Well done on getting the stitching portion of your biscornu finished, Nikki!

Ooo, I have one of Giulia's Deruta bead patterns, too...purchased impulsively at Celebrations a year or 2 ago. (I mean. It was marketed as "make your own "Game of Thrones" sewing accessories!" How could I not?) Once my kitchen is done and I've gotten all the drywall dust out of my craft room, maybe I'll dig that out!
And I'm cautiously optimistic about the coming social change....we took our 10 year old to a BLM rally, and it was a powerful, inspiring atmosphere.

Stunning button, nice stitching.

The stitching looks great, you can't see the dye lot differences at all. The button is amazing.
There was a small socially distanced protest, even in my small 97% white town.
