Bubbles

Got 2 sets of bubbles done. The thread for working the bubbles is interesting - it appears to be light blue silk wrapped with gold - see closeup.

  1. Lovely thread. I'm finally getting a close up look at those seaweeds, is the thread couched? It's so shiny, What kind of thread is it?

  2. The seaweed and bubble threads are from midori-embroidery.com - the seaweeds are three stranded metallic that were couched with silk. The couching threads are a darker color, and work very well giving the seaweeds the segmented look.
    Thanks for visiting!
