Floral Melody, Leaf 6

Mamafrog - I have a used a variety of techniques. Some beads are stitched down individually or in groups. Where there are 3 or more beads on a stitch, I take a couching stitch every second bead. I have also couched down strings of beads. Any line of seven or more beads is most likely done in this way. Thank you for visiting the blog and leaving a comment.

I am loving watching this piece "grow" as you're working on it. Did you find a pattern, trace it on fabric and using various beads and "designing" as you go along? Or is it a kit? I'd love to attempt something like this, but I'm not sure I could do it on my own.

I can't wait to see the whole piece!

I think I need to start thinking about a beadwork project...!
