Paperball wraped with gimp -
In fact like a five legged embroidered three-dimensional spider
I ordered gimp here: http://www.stef-francis.co.uk/ -
it is a viscose wrapped thick cotton cord
The first one was not a great success - I did it twice
The second has a nice knot in the middle and is bedded in a silk cup

calls it a little cabbage
We learned how to stitch on silkpaper -
I embellished with French knots and added a piece of vintage lace
in a kind of stitch diary - a book for reference - to look at and to enjoy.
Love these! I am waiting on paper balls to arrive so I can make these as well. I have paper ready to stitch on as well. Your paper sample is so very pretty.
