Rustic Angels

Here is another of my Christmas card designs. I know it is early, but if you have to make a significant number of homemade cards, then you need to start early. I have made 4 of these angels so far.

Tie a tassel using metallic thread, then separate and tie the strands to make the body and wings. Make a small padded face, embroider face and hair details. Add beads and sequins for decoration.

The other reason for making these now, is I am trying to use up hoarded supplies so that I can make fresh, guilt-free purchases when I go to the embroidery and fashion show in Harrogate on the 7th October (http://http://www.ichf.co.uk/fashion/index.php.

Oh, and Hark the Herald Angels Sing is my favourite carol.
