I tried to make ornaments for the Ongoing Holiday Ornament Swap 2020 that fit themes that my partners would enjoy. Of course, for my partner and friend @RagingSloth, I had to do a sloth in her colors of pink, white, turquoise or gold…
She and her partner made some really cute beaded ornaments just like the kits I used when I was a kid! I had a fat quarter of some cute animals, including sloths, so I used that for a starting point and made a large hexie…it didn’t feel finished, so then it came to me to add some mini-hexies all around…it kinda reminded me of the COVID virus, perfect for 2020, but of course, friendlier…
After I got the hexies done, I beaded the whole thing and then added the felt backing…and then more beads and some blanket stitching all around…this was a relaxing project for me and I sure did enjoy it!
After I got done, I made another using the koala for another friend…
