This purse is a sample of my bead embroidery class Beadazzled Somemore.
The base fabric is a cotton batik by Hoffman Fabrics. the glass seed beads I used are in sizes 6, 8, 11, and 15 in round, square and triangle shapes. I also used vintage glass buttons; novelty leaf and butterfly shaped beads; rondelles; and vintage sequins.
The beads are added to the fabric in a free form peyote stitch, attached at intervals throughout the beading process. |
