What are you all working on? I'm working on a bead embroidered purse. There is no real theme to it, but it sticks to a color scheme of black and purple (and iris) and has at least one heart on each panel. Originally I thought that I could get away with no hand sewing (other than the beading), but now that I've actually started constructing it I think I'm mistaken. Ah well, it should be pretty when it's done, if I do it correctly. I've got about half of the beading done. Here's a Work In Progress pic: I've already got an idea for the next purse/bag, although I haven't yet thought of the purse shape and construction. ;-) Too bad these things take so looong to make. I mean, they take about as long as any seed beaded piece, but lately I just haven't had the concentration to sit long than a half...oh look at the pretty butterflies... So lets see your project(s)!

I like to think of unfinished projects as a learning curve. Even if the learning is "I don't like that." I usually unpick and reuse the beads or wire.I am trialling wire twining as I took a class with Marilyn Moore at B/B last year- lots of trial and error to get where my mind wants. I want to do a Pohutukawa tree shading up to bright blazing red. Now I want gaps in it. I am using 32 gauge wires.

Cheers, Jan

Sounds really cool Jan! And I agree that it's like a learning curve, although I'm too lazy to unpick. Usually they get tossed in a bag and get unpicked if/when I need the beads later.
