First Finish of 2010

I finished this little New Year Ornament for Naomi today.

I found the design here . I adapted it slightly as the original design was for a biscornu and I wanted to make a hanging ornament to go with the one I made her last year, so I took design elements from the front and back of the biscornu and combined them to make this rectangular design.

It also gave me an excuse to take a photo of my roses ;)

The second photo was taken at the beach on New Years Day. It was jolly cold I can tell you!

A very clever use of a design

Like your adaptations - bet it was well received. It may be cold but it still looks beautiful, as do your roses. :0)
