June was a busy month. Lots of events and activities. Sometimes it seemed as if I was just waiting until the one--just taking up time and space. And that's what the beading looks like to me. Not much design--just taking up time and space.
Technical Details:
The foundation is Lacy's Stiff Stuff painted with a mixture of red, white and black Dye-na-flow.
There are lots of Delicas in this piece, many from this shopping trip. There are some 23 mm twisted bugles, some shorter bugles, cubes, triangles, hexes, 11/0s, and 15/0s.
Only the backstitch was used in this piece.
The size is 2.25 inches by 3 inches.
I used size B rose Nymo thread.
What I Was Thinking:
Not that much. Why, exactly, do I have so many amethyst beads? And why do I keep using them? They always seem to look better in the tubes and little baggies than they do in my beading. Maybe I should use them when I have more time to concentrate on the design.
Issues That Came Up:
Because June was so busy, I had a hard time focusing on the beading on consecutive days. I think the design suffered. But the beading does tell the story...
So you know how they always say that the sharp ends on the bugle beads can cut through the thread? Yoiks, it just happened! Back to the repair shop!
