These also went to Craft ACT for their Christmas tree, which was brought out for the first time today. Unfortunately I didn't get there in time, but I did have a sneak preview yesterday.
I am so, so happy with these pears. They are knit and felted as usual, then covered in clear sequins. And I didn't use strips of sequins, I sewed them one at a time. I'm getting quicker.... but it is not fast.
The wool is Cleckheaton Vintage Twist, a very light colourway that includes hints of palest yellow, purple and grey. The sequins have AB coating so they sparkle, but you can also see the colours of the wool coming through. I forgot to measure them but I think they're about 5 or 6 cm high, not including the loop.

Lovely! I love the Vintage Twist colours peaking through the sequins.
Gargh!
(And other lustful sounds)
Oh, Olivia, those are simply beautiful. And the work that must have gone into sewing on those sequins! I'm coveting one of those pears.
one at a time!?! you're the most patient animal in the world my love. They are simply scintillating. ily ma :)
Just stunning! The most beautiful tree ornaments I have ever seen!
oh wow, they are gorgeous...I was trying to picture them when you were describing them the other day and I didn't nearly do them justice. Good job...and a great Christmas twist to your pretty pears.
I absolutely love them. They made me laugh out loud and say "they're perfect" which caused my husband to come over and say "but they're sequinned pairs" in a quizzical v
voice.
Perfect for a Christmas tree.
gosh olivia they are just so beautiful. a tree covered with those would be one of the most beautiful things ever.
Mmmm, shiny! I would really like to see them move and sparkle in the tree lights.
They are just delicately beautiful, Olivia! What a huge amount of work sewing those sequins on!
