Snow Flakes 002 (400x300)

Today was about deciding what medium to use putting snowflakes on some linen. The beads were really a challenge. Some of the seed beads had such tiny holes, they would not fit on the beading needle. I think I will stick to the DMC embroidery floss on the right. When a stitch is put in with the floss it lays flat. Beads have a tendency to roll and the visual effect can be distorted. Right now I am resting the eyes. I like to work on items for next winter while I am in the here and now of this winter. That does say a whole lot for having time on my hands right now.
