Summertime Sunflowers

EDITED

This was a zoom class
thru the Lace Museum, which I set aside,
and kind of forgot about - -


This teneriffe pattern / Kit uses beads and fibers.

 Do you see the beads?




In addition to the Teneriffe Sunflower,
I've started a Needle Lace Sunflower, too
thru the Lace Museum ... next zoom session/video on Tuesday.

Sunflowers are a GREAT theme
for the summer sessions via the Lace Museum virtual education.  I have a few patterns and kits ...

This was the first sunflower, of the summer, that I've completed:
 Class instruction and pattern by Kelli Slack.  Link:  Sunflowers at the Twisted Picot.   

I have a few sunflowers to create -- I have a Spangles kit - beaded lace bobbin.

Karen Smock has a class coming up, 
Sunflower on a small Grapevine wreath.  Earlier this year she had a lovely earring/necklace set, Zwirnknopf Sunflower Buttons - which I will enjoy making.   

Also, I came accross the Endruck's Happy Sunflowers, LINK HERE.   (tatting)    Should be fun.

I'm looking forward to see the new class offerings 
for Winter : )

  4. You've inspired me! I just ordered the sunflower kit. It's been a few years since I've done Teneriffe lace. This looks like a fun way to get back into it.
