Yubinuki # 6

I think I am getting into the swing of making the yubinuki now.  Today I am unveiling the 6th installment of these adventures into thimble making.  I have decided I can't make out the patterns too well so I am doing what I did at the beginning of temari making... just stitching away trying different things and seeing what comes out.  Although this seems wildly unscientific I found that once I had tried several different ideas on my own the patterns from Japanese books seemed to make more sense to me.

This thimble ring was made using a 6cm circumference nivea lipbalm case for the mold, yellow 12mm bias tape, yellow polyester sewing thread for the padding and 4 colours of Gutermann Sulky Rayon 30 thread.
