Description:

I like to make variations of the biscornu, and I'm not much for cross-stitch, so this swap is for a biscornu made of lovely fabrics--you can use a fussy-cut pattern from sumptuous tapestry fabric, or silky Asian pieces. You can embroider them if you like, cross-sitich or otherwise but it's not required.

The main requirement is that they be generously beaded in some way.

I made a couple already that I sewed seed beads all along the zig-zig edge with dangles on the up-points, and stacked beads in the center. I matched the colors of the beads to the fabrics, or make them sparkly to embellish a rich fabric.

Use 3-4" squares of quality fabric and nice glass or natural beads--no cheesy plastic ones.

We'll have one partner to send a treasure of a biscornu, make something you would truly love to receive; check your partner's profile for favorite colors and themes.

I'm going to be out of town this weekend, and may not be on the computer, so I'll be assigning partners when I get back, probably on Monday night, April 3. PM me if you have issues, I'll try to check in if I can get to the internet.
