Here is one of my latest whales as a custom order. It is on a stand for the photo, but it was made specifically for a bead embroidery necklace project. If you aren't familiar with that craft form, the artist attaches a focal bead (this gray whale) whose fins are pretty flat on each side. It will lay flat on a sturdy base material. The artist usually embroiders with tiny seed beads around it and creates patterns and designs with other materials as well. So it makes a necklace. - saying like a super duper extraordinary "bib". That doesn't give it the importance and artistry it deserves. I'm just not sure how to describe it otherwise. Hopefully my customer will show me when she's completed it. I know they can take a long time.
I am in awe of anyone who works with seed beads. They make my eyes cross and fingers twitch. They are so tiny and for me, very hard to use.
I am trying to post once a week, but I have some busy stuff coming up- so if I miss a few, I will be back. Meanwhile, I'll leave you with another bead photo...I have plenty of those! And don't forget my business page on FB. StudioMarcy. Come find me there and see more photos, more often... Peace, love and owls to you.
