day 19, number 10

We had such a lovely birthday party yesterday !
(though it is a lot of work to provide food and drink for so many people,
you have hardly time to really talk to someone )
But it WAS fun to see our loved ones !!!

In front of the window was the best support I could wish
for this "Pinktober month"
a nerine bowdenii
in the brightest PINK there is !

So for today I choose one of my "finds"
(for which I didn't needed to do any felting right now)
and was busy with the fiddly work of making wire legs
(and antennae !)

My PINK RIBBON Textile Jewel
number 10 : 

a wet felted beetle brooch with wire legs and some beads

(7 cm,  2.75")

 "FIRE BUG"

I had three of those lovely Nerine bulbs
and put them in the ground early this summer.
BUT

it turned out that the snails / slugs were very fond of those greens :
before I could say "slug" the greens were nearly gone !
I tried to protect the poor plants
but they were all eaten in no time !
I the end I dug them up (found only one bulb left)
and put it in a pot in a safe place.
I was really happy that I noticed green leaves after a while
and a flower stalk end September which looks sooo pretty right now !!!

I hope to see you tomorrow
with a new Pink Ribbon Textile Jewel
