New Items!

Here is one of my latest additions to the AndrusGardensQuilts shop. This is one of the pins I beaded this past week. The quilt base is made from black and white fabrics, and beaded in various shades of pink and burgundy, with a silver butterfly. Black Pink Butterfly Pin. I experimented with different ways to take the photos of the pins, using some pansy and viola flowers to help give scale to the photos.

Here is one in the diamond shape, beaded in many spring colors. The backs on each of the pins allow them to be worn as a pin or as a pendant. The diamonds look especially nice worn as pendants. Diamond Black Blue Pink Butterfly Pin.

Rectangle Pink Blue with Hummingbird Pin. Another rectangular shaped pin with a hummingbird, pink, blue and teal beads.

Here is a group shot of the 3 above pins with a fourth one. The white silk crumpled up seems to work fairly well as a background for photos.

In addition to the pins, I finished the beading on two more rocky ACEO’s. Spring Blues #2 is available at AndrusGardensArt at Etsy. I hand stitched blue colored gemstone chips, beads and silver critters to the rocky section and added beads to the flower centers and more beads add accents to the bright blue silk section.

The final photo for this post…. Another rocky ACEO with the blue silk. Spring Blues #3 has two rocky areas with a part of a photo with green leaves, small white and pink flowers. This also has blue gemstone chips, and various colored beads accenting the rocky areas, flowers, and quilting in the blue silk section.
