I came across a Mill Hill small treasures book my mom had hidden away in the book case. I found a project in there I decided to try. I picked out some seed beads and Swarovski Crystals from my bead stash and some 32 count linen and went at her! I completed this one in about three hours:

I am currently working on a second one that is Christmas colors. I am thinking about turning them into Christmas Ornaments I think....not sure what else I could do with them.

This is beautiful! I've never tried anything like this. I think an ornament would be a nice idea

Lovely work, and they'd make beautiful ornaments!

(They's also make beautiful cards, although they'd probably be rather expensive to send :-(

That is gorgeous!! Actually that would work on my mom's tree, she decorates in pink and gold..

So it could still be an ornament, or you could do a few in a row across as a kind of hanging? Lots of possibilities!

Oh jeeze I could have sworn I said thank you months ago for all of your comments. :oops:

sorry!! Thank you everyone for your lovely comments

I did some more experimenting with bead embroidery the past 2 days, this time using Lace Agate:

This one is my own pattern and I am designing as I go. I plan on putting a rectangle lace agate bead above this and doing peyote stitch around that as well then forming it into a dramatic tear drop shape. It is going to be part of a necklace.

This is so much fun!

I adore your beautiful beadwork!
My Mom was a dressmaker who specialized in bridal dresses and veils so she was amazing at beadwork on the gowns and would make beaded tiaras for the veils. She would definitely give you high praise. Stunning.
Cheers :wine:

PS - did you get hit hard with the snow this week?
