Tada!

Warning! If you are prone to drooling all over your keyboard, cover it now.

Presenting… my mother’s biscornu:


Mom's Biscornu

Mom's Biscornu (Closeup)

Mom's Biscornu (Back)
Design is Enchantment (a Teenie Tweenie design) by Sandra Vanosdall of The Sweetheart Tree.
Stitched on 28-count antique white evenweave using my own DMC and GAST floss and Mill Hill bead conversions.
Finished as a biscornu as a Christmas gift for my mother.

Doesn’t it look like something the Queen of Sheba would have lounged on? It’s just so sparkly, sumptuous and royal looking. I wish it was for me! 😆

I took so many pictures of this, trying to get the right angle, lighting, etc. I felt like a fashion photographer. 😉 I’m not sure if it captured exactly what I wanted, but I’m looking to start taking more professional looking pictures of my finishes so that I can scrapbook them. I think this is a decent start.

    This is gorgeous, Jenna! I share your love of all things Sweetheart Tree, so of course I’m in love with this one. Stitch it again for yourself, you deserve it! I’ve been thinking for a long time that I should scrapbook my finishes as well, since so many of them are sent away now, and I’ll never see them again.
    The concert went well last night, but it wasn’t as good as last week’s. I’m glad you got to the one last week!

    Absolutely beautiful. Whenever you unveil one of these finishes, I keep telling myself that I want to try to make a biscornu. My mother would love something like this.

    Maybe if we meet sometime in the near future, I can help you take shots of your finishes. 🙂
