But it will have to wait.
It's amazing that I could find what I needed to do the plant in this mess...
Actually, I simply sent Tessie in with a list of the things we needed. After all, it's her plant. She should take responsibility..
She found leaves, a crochet hook, some covered wire and lots of glue.
To start, I took the crochet hook and, on three thicknesses of leather, I cupped the leaves by running the head of the crochet hook down the center.
With the wire, I twisted stems of various sizes and bent them to fit in the center of the bead and hang down over the edges.
I stuffed the ends into the hole in the bead with some glue.
I bent the arms of the stems in curves to hang down over the edge.
Then I took the leaves, with tweezers, and dipped the ends in white glue and stuck them to the wire.
I should mention that I had already put the blue bead in the hanger. That way I can more easily see the finished result.
I can still see a couple of bare spots. I will go back and fill in.
Then it will be ready for Tessie to hang, permanently.
Back to fill in the blanks.
See you tomorrow.
