More Circle Smocking
I had smocked this ornament on crystalline fabric many years ago. It was mounted on a 3" plastic canvas disc and the center was raw edged. A couple of weeks ago I finished it as a gift for a young woman I've been making an ornament for every year since I met her.
The smocked fabric wraps around the outside edge. The same design smocked with metalic threads repeats on the other side. I needle wove spider webs to cover the raw edges where the fabric is gathered. A fine fuzzy yarn that sparkles is couched to the outside of the circle to reflect a halo of light.

It's a beautiful ornament, Nellie! The smocking is so delicate, and well done!
This is delightful Nellie and I'm sure will become a family treasure for the person who receives it.

Beautiful ornament! I don't know anyone who wouldn't be proud to display it.
Ethereal, delicate, and gorgeous- just like a snowflake.

Very pretty Nellie. I too can remember when I smocked Christmas ornaments and Easter eggs. Still have my Easter eggs and a couple of Christmas bells. It is a lot of fun.

Freda, your ornaments smocked from kits may be ones that I had designed ;-)
