Blooming Modularity

One-day class - intermediate

Pre-requisite: Bead Embroidery

Why blooming? Because there are countless flowers in the project. And why modularity? Because it consists of several modules. There are two new features in this project. First af all, I embroidered the necklace part on printed cork fabric. It's basically a 3in1 necklace. Moreover, the replaceable parts can be made into separate pendants. So you can change and shape your jewellery according to your mood.
