As the days get shorter, my beading output decreases –
beading by artificial light is impossible!
Consequently my latest design has taken me two weeks to complete. I seem to have had a bit of an obsession with
making daisies at the moment. I’ve even
made a polymer clay version – a kind of Magic Roundabout type of daisy
(although I did confuse centigrade with Fahrenheit on the first
attempt...resulting in an alarming miasma in the kitchen!).
The base uses a new stitch to me: Pebble stitch. I used some lime size 10 beads which were misshapen
– no good for bead weaving but perfect for this stitch as it takes on an uneven
appearance. This stitch also grows
quickly which is always a bonus!
The daisies are made of tiny pearl Delicas with gold bead
centres stitched onto the base at irregular intervals.
Hope you like...
