The newest mystery class at Bedecked and Beadazzles is Mary Charles' "Secret Garden."
Ruth started by stitching the house and the wall around the property.
Now we have grass, the four stone balls on the wall pillars, the gate itself and the little roof over the door.
Ruth is using her own 2mm wide ribbon to create tiny plants and larger 4mm ribbon to create ivy leaves. This makes the ivy more prominent and the tiny plants more, well, tiny. She also stitched the topiary arch around the fountain. It's coming right along, and this is a master class of using scale to make some things more prominent and others less so.
