First, a little inspiration from something I saw on
Misha's blog post.
Next, something that didn't turn out quite the way I imagined, but I will bead it to perk it up. It's from The Stitches of Creative Embroidery by Jacqueline Enthoven, p. 38, #12.
And finally, something from the same book, but page 155, #331.
Not as much as it should be, but better than nothing. =)
