July 2022 Fully Finished Object
My Fully Finished Object for the July Gallery is the Blue Flower Pindrum by La D Da. I did my best! It is stuffed with poly beads on the bottom for weight, sawdust for stiffness in the middle, and fiber fill on the top to be easy to stick the pins in. I have done enough pindrums now to learn the pitfalls for various techniques. I wish that I had the top piece a bit bigger so it was even straighter, but it’s still pretty good.
I had these La D Da pins which I stuck in it. They are pretty and I’ve never seen others like them. I’m glad to have a La D Da piece to stick them in! It feels more official!
Thanks for hosting again, Rachel! I always enjoy some motivation to do my FFOs! Hopefully NEXT month I’ll have my Stacy Nash Summer Garden roll. I ran out of time to work on that one as it’s more complicated, but I did think about it and have a plan for the patchwork lining now. It will just take some doing…
Your Blue Flower Pindrum turned out beautifully, Mary! I really need to get up my nerve and try a drum finish. The older I get, the less inclined I am to venture into new finishes 🙂
The drum looks great! I like the technique of using different fillings. I’ve been using old socks LOL
