another beaded thing

I never quite think of good titles for these little doodle bits I make. This one was inspired by a colorful piece I saw on Judi Hurwitts blog, Approachable Art, specifically here: http://approachable-art.blogspot.com/2010/02/artraw-09.html They are nothing alike other than the horizontal lay out, but still I may as well give credit where credit is due. I like working with these bits of dyed scrim that I have. Also I stitched in lots of beads and a few bits of shell I picked up. This piece measures about 12.5" x 12.5".

Be well.

Of course, LOL, I'm a big fan of beads and sparkles and shimmery things, so the embellishments look terrific to me.; February 16, 2010 at 6:37 PM
Anne Huskey-Lockard said...: I love it Jan! It is so well stitched and beaded---your patience for beading amazes me, and kinda makes me pea-green with envy too! (my patience has diminished and the fingers don't work like they used to---HA!)
Lovely. And small sizes are always nice to work with as there is a lot that can be said in 12 1/2" square...

XXOO!!

Jan said...: Thanks for looking closer, Tristan. Somethings are worth taking a closer look at. These small pieces get lost in a far back look. As opposed to close up.; February 17, 2010 at 10:09 AM
Jan said...: I dunno Anne, I just can't stop sometimes when it comes to beading.; February 17, 2010 at 10:10 AM
Jan said...: Judi, thanks for stopping in to take a peek.; February 17, 2010 at 10:10 AM
Jan said...: Hello, Ms. Tangible, yes, like waves, maybe you have given me an idea for a name for this piece. I must think about it.; February 17, 2010 at 10:11 AM
audrey said...: It seems I am always telling you that I love a piece that you post. And now you've done it again. This is wonderful, Jan. I have been wanting to do some type of fiber piece and this one REALLY inspired me. LOVE the use of color and all that beading!!!

Jan said...: Thanks, Audrey! This piece practically put itself together. It turned out well but was so intuitive. I will be thrilled if I have inspired you!; February 19, 2010 at 9:12 AM
