Happy New Year's
Today is New Year's Eve. I've spent the day doing basically nothing. I finally got to the post office and mailed my sister in law her Christmas presents. I made her a really cool wall hanging to commemorate her trip to Ireland. It's a celtic knot pattern done in flat peyote stitch. I used both matte beads and glossy ones to give the illusion that the thing was an old carved piece of stone. Then I surfaced embellished it with beads that looked like it was covered in vines and then hid amongst the leaves a couple of Celtic inspired charms. I enclosed a bit of a poem to explain the wall hanging. "Imagine a foggy morn on the moors. You trip on a piece of ancient rock, covered in vines..... and nestled among the vines is one of the wee fairy folk." Yes, naturally hidden in the vines I put a fairy. I hope and pray that she realizes how much work went into the piece. It probably took me a good 40 hours to complete.
Sadly I feel I have to make another, as I have a celtic crazy friend that it would be absolutely perfect for.
Ahh, I hear fireworks. It's almost midnight. Time to go kiss my man.
