sigh ...




i wanted these to look better. I tried. I'm not very satisfied with the outcome. I started with nun edge & the linen 'fringed' -- realize the front design on the needlebook should have been over further as the motif is too close to the needlebook spine (that for starters). The beads were too loose on the pinkeep & I don't know what the secret to tight beads & charms can be -- but, i don't know it!! I tried several tassels & ended up with green, now I think they may be too big or too long. I just have given up.

I think your finishes look great! I'm always unhappy with these things too, as I am too close to the project and know all the flaws. Everyone else will think they are wonderful (I do!).

Don't be so critical, my friend! I think they both look AWESOME! I agree 100% with Jenny, you are "too close" to the project. Those aren't flaws, they are character traits. ;o) I love the color changes you made. Great choices!

Hang in there Lelia! You are too critical of your own work (as am I!) I've been trying some new things too but can't post pictures yet....

I too think you're being a little hard on yourself. The colors are great and even with the small problems you might see, very few others would even notice. :D
