#beadwork

10 posts9 participants0 posts today

I've finished my my leaves on the second piece! Still doing the second outline layer, and filling in the open areas.

The bugle beads will be super fast.

Starting to feel the pressure as I have a month to go and haven't really started the dress. I fit a muslin so I could fit these as pattern pieces, but it feels a million years ago.

Still debating on the belt. If If want to bead it or buy trim. Finding the right vintage belt buckle has been quite the adventure - most the ones I've found are either very expensive or silver rather than gold.

Beadwork! Right shoulder is done!

Every bead was hand stitched.

I decided that simplicity in the bugle beads is best to show off the leaves. Was also closer to what I've seen on period garments for this style.

Some parts I pulled out 4 times to get right.
