| Testing Findings and Sequins |
I thought it might look good if I added sequins from The Collection (bottom row) or metal bits from Sundance (top row). I was wrong. The metal findings are too prominent, too large and too busy. The sequins are too plain. Sigh.
So I put both back in their packages and tried doing a square Rhodes stitch with silver Kreinik. It just looked odd. Then I did a cashmere stitch with the Kreinik. Didn't look any better. Sigh.
So I did what I always do when nothing works—I stitched the tuning pegs in basketweave with my Kreinik.

That was a tad too plain so I added a few beads on top of the middle of each peg.

| The Final Touch to the Tuning Pegs |
You probably have noticed that the bird has a beak and a leg and claws now, too. And I've laid a length of silver Kreinik over the guitar's neck. The Christmas ornament is the last thing to be finished. Next time….
Peace and love. Out!
