The beads were my inspiration. I bought them about a year ago in San Diego when I was looking for beads for a different project. I didn't use them and they have been waiting in the wings! I like that they kind of look like cabachons, but they're beads.
I used a Watercolours overdye for my color base and several different threads, picking up the colors in the beads..
I'm really pleased with the way this turned out.
Just stunning!
ReplyDeleteLove the beads and they make a real difference in the area. Interesting to see you change the design to make something other than a purse. Look forward to see the next sections.
