Update on bead embroidery project

Hello, everyone.

Last spring I started a little embroidery project.  It was a practice piece, mostly, and to try out the stabilizer I had gotten in the mail. (Lacey's Stiff Stuff? I think so.)

It was also a way to use up some bead stash.

Yesterday the beading on the face was finished.

Posing on a different chair this time, a scallop shell.

It's time to choose a finish for the piece. Options include adding it to something else by stitching it down and adding a row of beads at the edge. Or adding a felt backing and putting it onto a headband. Or adding a vinyl back and making a pin or necklace or a simple fidget.

I think it's a little small for a plain fidget piece. Too easy to drop and lose!

There may be headbands around but they're still buried in a box somewhere.

The other options remain open for now. Feel free to chime in with a suggestion for the finish in the comments!
