Spiders 2 RR Debbie's Block And BAS #30

Well I got Debbie's block For the Spiders 2 RR. I was trying to decide what to do. She had attached a crocheted piece that looked like a spider web. I decided it needed one of my beaded 3D spiders. But not alone of course. So I tried some techniques that are new for me.

First I did a stump work Ladybug. It turned out just o.k. in my opinion, I think I will need more practice with that part. I also did a bug, kind of like a stink bug that is in black stump work. I then made a part stump work dragonfly the middle is stump work I had trouble with my double layered organza wings, so I used my sewing machine to stitch around the wings in Gold Rayon thread to hold them down. I then added some vines and 7mm and 4mm scrunched ribbon flowers.See the photo below ( I added a second photo showing the 3D part of the flower.)


Then I did a second motif with a spider web made from petite treasure braid. I added a spider that I found the instruction in the book called Beading Basics 30 Embellishing Techniques for Quilters by Mary Stori. It was under the arching section and was called a garden spider. I also followed the instruction to make bullion roses from the book Embroidered Bags and Purses by Country Bumpkin. I added those to the top of the spider web area. This is my first time making this type of rose. See photo below:


Last but not least I added BAS #30 ( build a seam) to the block. This week it was meandering ribbon. I usually use silk ribbon but had a pretty variegated ribbon that matched the block better.

Here it is:


So that is it!! I sure hope she likes it.
