Bonnie Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I agree I wish we all could have a CL....but honestly there isn't anything amiss with your little wreaths.....they look just fine and dandy without the CL.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judysmith Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Linda Bonnie is right - your freehand feathers are great. I don't think you really do need a circle lord! Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore1223 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I agree with the rest of the ladies....There's nothing wrong with your wreaths. They look great to me, wish I could do as well. ' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Linda, I agree with everyone, your wreaths look just fine. You should have seen mine early on They were so wonky it was terrible. Everytime I do them they get a little better, I have a hard time anticipating ending the silly thing. So I end up with nice, full whatever you call them...I think pearls...then I have one that is skinny, crammed in between for the last one. Plus they all point in different directions Yours on the other hand, look pretty darned good!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindasewsit Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Thanks you guys!! MB, some of my other practice ones are not so evenly spaced!! My outside ones, I do pretty good at the spacing, but the inside for some reason is a little tricky!! linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Patten Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Hay Linda Great free hand work... try doing 1/2 the number of the feathers on the inside as you do on the outside... so the point that hits the stem starts and stops at every other outside feather and your feather itself curves around to fill the space of the second feather on the out side ... does that make sense... it's easier to show then it is to explan... but if you aim for half the feathers on the inside then when you get to the last feather to close the inside of the wreath you will have lots of space to make the last one just as perfect as the first.... the ones you posted look GREAT!!!!!

Bekah Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Well Linda, I have to agree, your wreaths are wonderful. You certainly don't need CL. Wish I could do them so well as my CL doesn't go that small. Pat yourself on your back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merryjo2003 Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 I agree with everyone else! Nothing wrong with your wreaths! As much as I would love to have a CL, I'm saving up for a computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancingstitcher Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Great wreaths. Good tip Sue. Fewer in the middle, so one for every 1.5 on the outside? I also do just an inside looped wreath around inside of hexagons. Feathers don't have to be double-sided ones. Vicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Those are really wonderful!!! CL is a great tool, but you are doing amazing freehand work! Keep up the PPP and your are going to be just fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
