It actually only took 4 months. I rotary cut all the circles and then worked on it almost every nite. After all the yo-yo's were done I started on the rows. It was great fun.
I'm very impressed - it's beautiful. I bought a yoyo maker at a show last year but I'm not sure about it yet. I have seen purses made from tiny silk yoyo's imported from China. Maybe one day ....!
