Threadaholic Alert: Color Dreams Naturals

Ruth Schmuff has great news for lovers of bamboo threads like Rainbow Gallery's Mandarin Floss-she has a new thread called Color Dreams Naturals, a blend of silk and bamboo.

It isn't on the Bedecked and Beadazzled website yet, so I don't know if it is a floss or perle-type thread, but I'll update this as soon as it's widely available.

Vibrant Beauty: Winter 2025 Mystery

Ruth Schmuff has announced the Winter 2025 mystery class--"Vibrant Beauty" from Romantzart.

The classes are set for January and February 2025.  Stay tuned. I'll update this article with Ruth's progress reports here as the class dates come and go.  By the way, Ruth had an idea about how to reduce shipping costs starting with this mystery.

Ruth started with an open background and a new Color Dreams thread on the vase.  (Color Dreams is a line of overdyed floche that Ruth has made for her shop.)

Then she moved to leaves and flowers with a Ruth twist.

Then Ruth tackled all those black outlines in a very clever way.  The flower center she's finished is amazing, by the way.
