I'm in love! The beads really make a difference. She's all a-glitter and just so princess-y. Yes, I have forgotten the correct use of the English language, that's how excited I am!
Since I used the beads that I had lying around the place, I'm sure the finished product looks quite different from the original, but I'm very pleased. I didn't have any treassures, so I went ahead and took some artistic license with bead placing and even colors. For example, I liked the idea of the dark blue beads trailing right off her hands, so I added those in and made them fall deeper than the pattern called for. And I really like the effect:
I also love the tail, so glittery and gorgeous! When I started beading, I really hadn't anticipated how well it would look in the end:
Oh and have I mentioned her haidress? It's so intricate! I mean, wow:
And that's it for now! The next time you see this beautiful girl, she'll be framed and ready to be hung up.
Happy stitching everyone! :)
Robin, congratulations on your mermaid finish! She is positively STUNNING. I love the fabric you created for her and the blue beads you used. I look forward to seeing her framed and on the wall. Well done!
ReplyDeleteAw thank you so much Robin!! :D It's so nice to hear you like it, I admit it came out nicer than I anticipated and it's great to share it on here with you guys :) hope you're having a great day!

Thank you Marilyn, I'm glad you like it! :)
DeleteOh, you finished her (I was away and am way behind on blog reading!)... What a stunning finish, Robin--beautifully stitched and beaded. I am not a beader and so I truly admire those of you who have the patience for it. Congratulations on an amazing piece :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol!! :) It makes me happy to hear you guys like it. It's funny, I have the patience for beading, but for example not for knitting or sewing. I suppose we each have our own strengths and weaknesses, which makes it all the more fun to see other people's projects. I hope you're having a good day :D
