  25. Such an eclectic feel. I'm always so impressed when I see items like this partly because its a style I just can't do myself.

  26. Beautiful work. I really like the background color scheme. I had to read the instruction list twice. I didn't realize you had used cheesecloth. This is also another use of stitching. I can't find a way to follow you. If there is and I've missed it please let me know. Thank you.
