Our next entry comes from Melinda Coss of Western Wales.
"So what can I say. A big box of delicas arrived from a bead company I work with in the UK and all I could think about was herrings. For my first project I played safe with a square stitch amulet (Celtic Style) as I live in very rural West Wales, and, having completed that I moved on to my fish. He is constructed in square stitch with some fine wire threaded through the edges of the fins and tail to stop them flopping. He is double sided and stuffed with a small piece of wadding. For the hook I used a standard earring finding. The 'line' is made from clear bugle beads with some leaf shaped pressed glass Czech beads and a few delicas thrown in for good measure. Thinks...I should probably have put a worm in there somewhere too :-). For those who are interested, the pattern will be published some time early Summer in 'New Stitches' which is a specialist embroidery mag published in the UK but also available in the States." (24k)
