Great Tiny Snowflake Sequins

Lynn Mason, the designer behind Needlepoint by Sharese, shared where she found the lovely tiny snowflake sequins on her latest design.

They come from Etsy.  The container appears to contain four designs in white or silver, but most are white.  I can't tell if Lynn glued them in position or stitched them on but it looks like you could do either.

Thanks for the tip, Lynn!  A good snowflake sequin is hard to find.

By the way, BnB Glitter's Etsy shop is fun to explore.  Besides gold and white snowflakes, sequins and glitter there are tiny bits of polymer clay in various shapes that might work well to embellish your canvas.

The proceeds of sales go to the road race.  Here's the direct link to the shop's website.  When I wrote this they were expecting another shipment of road race ornaments.

A Special Sale at Berlin Embroidery

Tanja Berlin is having a special exhibit and sale of her mother's stitching.  The story is touching and I am happy that her mother's work will be shared instead of boxed up in a closet or hidden under the bed.
