Bead Embroidering the Snakey Thingy

beads.

Here I am again trying a new bead embroidery. I am going to call it the Snakey Thingy. Again I got the idea from the little Anchor Book on crewel stitches. We shall see how this one comes out. I am still not too confident about my beading. I am having a lot of fun doing them and that is reason enough for me.

Well now it is finished..My Leafy Thing. I love it I feel I have given birth in a kind of a way. Now I wondered what to do with it when it was finished, well it has been suggested I do a very fancey thing with an embroidery hoop. I am going to give it a try.. I will keep you updated as to how it goes.

Trying Bead Embroider




I have been having a very slow time with ideas recently. Just could not get going with anything.

While browsering I found quite a lot of people had gone over to embroidery with beads.
WOW maybe I could try this. It looked so beautifull . Have a look at Robin Atkins gallery. This is some really lovely eye candy.

However came to mind, I think I could give this a try for a little change. But all I can tell you at the moment bead embroidery is not as simple as it looks.

I wanted some thing in the style of Paisley Pattern. However (as you can see ) it did not turn out as I imagined. I am not going to rip it out or relegate the ufo drawer. I like it enough to try a bit more with it. I am calling it the Paisley Thingy.
