This is the Georgian Bauble from Spellbound Festive Beading by Julie Ashford. I've had the book a while, but always thought it was a bit hard, now was the time to try. The bauble is 40mm so it's pretty small. I used size 11/0 and size 8/0 seed beads along with bugle beads and crystals.
I'm really chuffed with how it turned out and it looks great on our over-crowded Christmas tree!
Speaking of which, I'd like to wish all of you who celebrate it a very merry Christmas and a happy new year to all!
I'll be back on Boxing Day with more crafty stuff.

Merry Christmas to you too Wendy. I can imagine that your New Year's list of crafts to try in 2015 is a mile long already? I hope you enjoy a few days of rest and relaxation before the new year starts.
Oh my goodness, Wendy that beaded ornament is beautiful!! I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and joyous and prosperous New Year.
Look at all those teeny tiny seed beads. I hope it has pride of place on the Christmas tree. Merry Christmas, Wendy!!!
