Using up leftover beads and quilt fabric to make pagan jewelry.
This is a beaded leaf symbol for herbalism also earth, the backside there will be a small opening to insert dried herbs, but still thinking about some type of temporary closure so dried herbs can be replaced. The smallest seedbeads are 11/0. I have arthritis so beading is very slow.
The scissors also have leftover beads in fire colors and a charm.
The strawberry pincushion made it from seeing someone making a strawberry pincushion on youtube many years ago, but mine is smaller bit different shape. Quilting cotton thread old gold color. Thin baking paper for pattern, remove in bits using a pin and tweezers. Backside has some thin felt in parrot green for support of fabric. Tiny stitches backside make it more stiff holds shape.
