Purchased this kit in January 2024 from Ann-Juliette's Shining Threads. I didn't like the original leaves, so I shopped around and found some other colors and styles to play with. I glued on the gems and then stopped working on it. I picked it back up recently (had to dig up a pic so I knew what I was doing) and completed it in time for Christmas 2025!.
The finished piece
What I decided on after playing around and arranging gems
Another pic of the finished piece. I tried to do it the way it was shown in the sample, but the bugle beads must've been longer as things got a little wonky. Also, I think in the future I'll take the sequins off the string and tack them on individually - it looks so sloppy to me.
The piece backlit. It really shows off that wonkiness of the beads and the sequins. Got to start somewhere. At least my silver bright-check circle came out good.
