I received word recently that Autumn Arbor has made the first cut in the Fire Mountain Gems 2009 beading contest. Now I have to send it in for the next round of judging.
Sometime later this summer I’ll see if I can write up a basic tutorial for the piece. I didn’t take process shots like I normally do, so it’ll be a little sketchy. Still, those who have some bead weaving experience will probably find it easy enough to follow.
Last year, my over-the-top piece called Andromeda’s Pearls won first place in the pearls category. I don’t really think I’m going to have a repeat with Autumn Arbor in the seed beads category, but I guess you never know!
Cyndi, your pearl piece is lovely! was it bead embroidered?
Peggy, thanks so much. Yes, the pearl piece from last year is embroidered on an ultrasuede foundation since it’s so heave, and then it’s backed with another piece of ultrasuede to cover the stitches.
Wow, that piece is amazing.
Thank you, Kate!
