I still think this flower is a bit on the large side... but I'm loving the look of the felt with the aged bell... and the colours of the felt are just perfect.
As you can see, I have added a couple of green leaves. They were a bit 'flat' on their own, so the embroidered stitching around the edges helps lift them a little, and because I have use a golden colour... it helps tie the leaves with the bell.
Now all I need is that hook in the ceiling... and to hang it somewhere that I can play with it easily, but the children can't!

You've brought it all together - bell and flower - now it will ring in the compliments.
So pretty - I love your bell.
so, so, so pretty!!!
I think it turned out just lovely. I haven't tried felting yet, but it is on the list! I love bells, too- we always use them on the feast of St. Nicholas- we have used the same one since my dad was little...
Looks great!!
I thought you said green leaves. These look blue??
It looks very nice though.
Looks great! And also reminds me how behind I am with Christmas preparations :(
Hi, have made up a game and tagged you, hope you'll play so I know I'm not alone, but understand with the silly season if you can't. Merry Xmas and all that!
Perfecto!

The bell and flower looks very nice together!! See whether I can follow some of your ideas for the coming Lunar New Year celebrations in Jan '09.
