Does Mrs. mart work from pre-existing patterns, or can she create her own from an image she might want to reproduce?

Very often pre-existing patterns (like the one shown is) but makes up her own designs sometimes. Not pictures though, more jewellery items.

Hard to say how long it took in hours or days because it wasn't worked on continuously but I know it has been sitting around in various stages of completion for quite a time.

Oh my goodness - that is incredible! I love Mucha and the Art Nouveau movement. Mrs Mart must have the patience of a saint to produce such a lovely piece of beading!

Patience and a lot of time.

Maybe worth saying is that the picture isn't sewn onto a material backing but is just the beads woven together.

Re: More beadwork

No patterns for these but ideas formed from experience and from watching on YouTube what can be made with beads.



This one is made to look like Wisteria. I think it does.
