Photo heavy post, sorry. Have you ever tried taking a photo of a biscornu? What a difficult task. They are so oddly shaped it's hard to capture them correctly and then they cast funny shadows.
Yay, a finish! I completed the stitching and beading on Wisteria Biscornu on Thursday. Washed, ironed on interfacing and stitched it together on Friday. Pawing through my meager button collection revealed I was sorely lacking suitable buttons so Saturday I went stash shopping and found the perfect buttons. Today I sewed on the buttons.
The yellow side with butterflies, before stitching both sides together.
The green side with bees.
Ooooo, pretty!
I like the soft colors in this photo. Yellow on top.
Now the green.
This little square lavender button fit perfectly.
A larger, flower shaped lavender one for the bee side.

Edited to add an answer to a question in the comments: From what I understand "biscornu" is a French word meaning quirky or irregular. It was adopted by stitchers as a name for this funny shaped pincushion. These are also called tuffets.
