Re: Bead box

That is just so clever, however did Mrs Mart start?

Re: Bead box

That looks very interesting and difficult, Mart .... I would love to see her at work with it.

Re: Bead box

I don't know whether to applaud her sharp eyesight, steady hand, patience or creative flair.

She must feel incredibly chuffed when she has the finished article.
I bet her dressing table and wardrobe are crammed with wonderful unique knick-knacks and accessories ( said with glowing green eyes).

Re: Bead box

Beautiful work. Exceptional talent.

Re: Bead box

With most things, it's usual to start small and get bigger. With that craft though, she started big and got smaller. ..and she just sits quietly and works away until the next item is finished.

Mrs mart say thanks again. It's good to see some nice remarks on what she does. She shows me these things but I've been seeing the results for so many years that I don't admire them as much as I ought to.

Thanks.

Re: Bead box

More beadwork. This time it's Lavender made of very tiny beads. For those interested in the details, the pattern is from TotallyBeads, Sarah Millsop Beaded Lavenders.

The beads number in thousands but apparently beads are more measured in grammes, so..

90g size 12 Seed beads (purple)
50g size 12 Seed beads (green)

It all took 3 days to make, working about 5 hours a day. Mrs mart has become quite experienced and fast at beading.

Re: Bead box

That's really lovely Mart, the lavender flowers look so real.

Love the bucket they are in, too...

Re: Bead box

That's why I thought the measurement might be a good idea. If it had been thought to be a normal sized bucket, the flowers would have been enormous.
