Yesterday while searching through my stash for inspiration I came across these red metal roses my friend Lillian gave me. I thought maybe they would look nice around the silkie and sure enough I loved the way it enhanced the frame, so I stitched them into place.
It makes me think that it is still unfinished, I've never felt quite satisfied with the way the frame is looking and with the addition of these roses I think it makes it closer to the feel I am wanting. I might hold more bead tryouts and see if adding anything else enhances it as well!
Three bare spots left on this block and still no firm ideas. I think I will concentrate on the frame a bit more to see what else it might need and keep the rest of the block on the back burner to percolate ideas.

The frame looks OK to me ;) Maybe just a few scattered roses on the ends of the lace trim that hangs from the frame.
