...coffee stirrers...

Here are a few piccies of my prettied-up coffee stirrers....

.... from my "Silken Treasures" tri-fold.





I added one to my "Memories of Cambodia" book too.





I first painted the ends with some acrylic paint.....

....then wrapped it with hand-dyed silk thread.....

....wound some metallic machine thread randomly over the top of the silk....

...and tied a knot at the bottom. (Secured with clear nail polish)

Ta DA!!


I have other uses for coffee stirrers too......I'll share those with you sometime :-)))


...but now I must away upstairs and get some work done!
