Persisting Stars

the mischief from her eyes and fold

her

mouth the new

flower with

thy unimaginable

wings,where dwells the breath

of all persisting stars 

- e.e. cummings

I sit in workshop stitching Gemini and Libra onto a tote bag.  "It may just be my favorite yet", I say to myself as I reach for the sequins.

So easy that I dare not insult you with a tutorial, but here are the crib notes:

• Print your constellation
• punch out the stars with hole punch 
• transfer with with chalk
• french knots for small stars using white embroidery floss
• sequins for brighter stars
• use a ruler and chalk to draw lines
• back stitch using blue embroidery floss
