Just before the year ends! I could not resist, this is the last snowman/woman cab I had on hand. I had these little 3mm Swarovski crystals I have been wanting to use as well. This is another cab by Eljay, I guess it might be time for me to stock up.
The outside edge is a stitch found in Beading Around Cabochons by Jamie Cloud Eakin. The camera does not capture the sparkle of the crystals.
All beads are Japanese size 11/0 and 15/0

Thanks friends... they really are so much fun to make. And Tammy, I will forever think of you when I see anything related to snow. I don't think I've ever known anyone that gets as giddy as you over snow, it tickles me to no end.
I've never used felt on the back, I usually use leather. I'll have to give this consideration, because thenit can be signed.
Hi daybyday - nice to see you here. I actually use ultrasuede as backings not felt. I do use a stiff felt as my base though for the beading. If you have any questions - let me know.
