Little Sun


"Little Sun", 6x4", was painted then beaded. I like the combination of "encrusted" beading for the seed area, and the lighter beading in the petal area, allowing the wash of paint colors to show through. Stacked beads worked well for the seeds, I think.

  2. WOW

    This is definitely a favourite. Where you find the patience I don't know. I did visit in a rush once before and you inspired me to start adding and using beads..thanks for that.
    Love this piece especially the stacked beads and the painted effect with the graduated colours on the petals allowing the painted fabric to shine through. Thanks for sharing.
