Sea urchin


I've always loved the delicate shells of Sea Urchins, and though it might make a pretty Bauble.

This one is not quite correct in every anatomical detail, but certainly conveys the idea.


I chose pale creams and pinks for the embroidery - it was a good opportunity to practise my french knots!

  2. Your baubles are just fascinating. I love them. How do you display all of them when you've finished making them?
