#bead embroidery

LIVE
A painting with a yellow glowing circle in the centre, a white halo, then a pink background. It has an irregularly shaped square of white beads covering most of it. It has a sparkly ethereal look.

You may have seen on my IG or Twitter, but I’ve been working on a new beaded painting. This one is 8x8 inches and will likely take well over 100 hours to finish.

This work is a heart meditation. I hope you can feel the love that I’m putting into it.

We are settled enough into our new place that I’ve been thinking about starting another beaded painting soon. This prototype is only 6x6” yet took over 100 hrs, so it’s a bit of a commitment. I love spending that much time with a work of art though, slowly watching the vision come alive. When it’s done that experience is over.

Plus I do find the effect of several thousand beads pretty astounding. Each one of these was individually hand-stitched and meticulously adjusted so the thread isn’t visible. I did buy a luneville hook, which could speed things up, but I don’t yet know how to use it. I also love how the stitches on the back of the prototype look, so I’m not totally sure I even want to change techniques.

Would love to use them, although you can’t use the fabric in heat or in rain, they look amazing.
