Tiny biscornu break...

Took a break on July 4th to stitch a tiny biscornu fob for my necklace. Being a patriotic day here in the USA, I used some red, white and blue floss, Week's Independence, and 28ct Ray of Light lugana in pale yellow. This little guy is just over an inch across, stitched over one. The pattern came from the Stitch Creations blog here. I used two tiny white seed beads to dimple the center and sewed on a bail for the chain.
By the end of the year I'll have a biscornu necklace for every occasion!  Now to find a suitable August-themed pattern in a small size!   Back to the Chinese Garden Mandala for the rest of the week. Hope everyone is having a nice July!
