3-D BEADWORK

Despite an over-committed schedule which should settle down shortly, I have managed to squeeze out some stitching time.  I've been wanting to incorporate into my work, some of the 3-D beading techniques that I've been experimenting with.

 This small, about 7" square, resist dyed felted wool piece seemed like a good starting place!
 Out came the beads and other supplies....
 And the beading began....
....so far...this is what I have.  The circular sections of ruffles will be one of the new techniques I'm featuring in my new 3-D beading workshop.

Stay tuned....I'm hoping I can complete this piece in the next few days....
