Tidal Pool / Kreinik Challenge

The fan is completed just have to finish off the back and put my name on it before I send it to the San Francisco School of Needlework & Design for the Stitch-at-Home Challenge BURLESQUE!  
 
I received an envelope filled with Kreinik threads.  The unruly tassel was made from the leftovers after I stitched the design.





The part I like the best is the piece of material? lace? I covered with buttonhole stitch.  I took the first pictures on the piece I have left.  I probably no will use this again in another project.

OR

The convergence of a blank fan, the Kreinik threads challenge, and tide pool challenge!

The solid areas are padded and covered with Kreinik 1/8 " metallic ribbon in several colors and outlined in sequins on the outside edge and beads on the inside edge.  The pink circles are couched Kreinik thread.  The wave (which I will probably rip out) is sequins. 

This was a piece of cotton lace that I dyed and didn't like so I did a buttonhole stitch around each circle with different kreinik metallic #8 braid..

The process of covering the padded areas with metallic ribbon and buttonholing around the cotton lace was very time consuming.  That plus an unscheduled trip to Vermont and New Hampshire for a couple of days are the reasons this is not yet completed.
