I'm still alive and kicking , just not beading as much as I would like too :) The Novemer challenge for EBW has come and gone with some great challenge pieces to chose from, here is the bead embroidered pin I was trying to finish in time, the spiral rope to this pin I posted about is finished and now that I have no deadline I am working on another rope to add to it, apparently I am just not satisfied with just one spiral rope . Hopefully two will do the trick ;)
I really enjoyed the fringe on this piece , kinda crazy and all over the place:)
Finished back with brown suede, and of course used fireline throughout.I figured I would throw this magified picture in as well, the coloring doesn't quite show up in the detailed photo, weird. I thought thats why we show magnified pics!
I really need to start sharing all the wonderful works from the Etsy Bead Embroidery Guild, looking on etsy last night I found more than just a few good pieces , can't list them all but here's a couple , go check them out :)
