Small Things are Also Beautiful

While this is not the first time I have created these pieces, each time I choose different fabrics and now I'm applying extensive beading as well.
I spent several relaxing evenings, beading each one, feet up, a glass of wine at my elbow.
(And today I vacuumed all the beads that ended up on the floor.)

I was given this book as a Christmas present. I certainly enjoyed reading it and learned some "better" techniques for my beading. I don't put a lot of beads into my work, but some things just call for them.

The pieces are simple silhouettes, heavily satin stitched. With a few beads they need nothing else.
