Embroidery Challenge Tokens

 I have been continuing to work on WIPs and UFOs lately.

This week I managed to get some tokens finished for the most recent Embroidery Challenge participants.

This latest Embroidery Challenge has an open theme. It began late last year and finishes very soon. The aim is to encourage all skill levels of embroiderers to get involved, and hopefully inspire others in the Barony.

The tokens are glass beads and date pendants strung on tigertail wire and secured with a couple of jewellery crimps.

I have also been doing some scroll illumination, but of course, I can't share any of that until the scrolls have been presented.

Tokens for a Challenge

Another little project got ticked off the list last week. I had been running an embroidery challenge in my local group following an introductory embroidery class I ran at a College event. The theme of the Challenge was 'Something New'. Participants could display their embroidered work, whether it was a new item, something in a new embroidery or stitch style, etc. They were encouraged to display their work at an event, and I made little tokens as a memento of the Challenge.

I have made tokens like this for all the embroidery challenges that I have run (in different colours), so several members of the group have quite a collection.
