Who dares to rush into a Pebble Adventure?

Do you recognize this?

It is a free project from "Stitch" from some years ago, you can find it here: http://www.embroiderersguild.com/stitch/projects/encrustingcalico/i...

We, Deb and Marjolein, have admired that project ever since. Now we have decided to rush into this "Pebble Adventure".

Does anyone want to join us? We can share pictures and experiences here or provide links to blogs or flickr.

Hello everyone.

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments on my beads. I have already made a bunch more using every color of Lumiere Paints I have. LOL I forgot to say that the Tyvek I used is "Hard Structure" and then there is the soft. Hard structure Tyvek looks like sorta like a piece of velene I think accept not quiet that hard. On Joggles she sells the hard structure and the other type. I ask her what typed she used for the beads and she told me "Hard Structure"! The Moon beads are made of it too.

Again I wish everyone a lovely Easter Holiday; Hugs Judy

Hello Everyone,

We have been very quiet. I reckon are fingers have been busy stitching. In the last couple of days I have been playing and creating. LOL I have made my first 2 tyvek beads, and what I will call Oyster shells. YES I did it and I think they are acceptable. LOL I sure do plan to make allot more and in many different colors. Love them and so much fun to make.

I also have been doing some wet wool felting and stitching pebbles and shell accents to put in my seascape I plan to felt my seascape in the near future. I will add 2 photo and I would love to know what you think.

Hugs Judy

This weekend I finished my "sumptuous pebble". This pebble was worked the other way around. First the most part of embroidery (years ago), than decide where the relief has to come, than finish the embroidery.

The difference in texture of the top fabric was another issue. With this pebble the trapped items where less visible. The wrinkles caused by these items were easy to handle due to the loose weave.

More detail information can be found on my blog: http://threads-and-patches.blogspot.com/2012/04/sumptuous-pebble-is...
