GETTING THERE

I couldn't wait to pick up a needle last night after being away from home for several days....

While I was gone....magic happened......(don't we wish that was the way things worked??)  Anyway, the beading is now complete, and the piece has been basted to black fabric (featuring a tiny grayish print) that has been backed with batting.

Here's a close up....click on the photo to get a better view.  So.....what's next?? I think a little hand embroidery is necessary to support the weight of the beads, which will keep the fabric layers together.  Hope to show you more tomorrow....
