Secret Beadalong – Day 3

Secret Beadalong – Day 3

This is my favourite design so far to bead, with an unusual and clever thread path.   Although I think the matte neon purple with duracoat zest may be a colour combination too far……….

Quintessence beaded beads.  #beadweaving #beads #beading #beadedbeads #czechbeads Silly me, I made this box back in summer 2024, but didn’t ever share photos of the finished piece!  Here it is now - ‘Coral Box’ - bead embroidery onto a 3D shaped hard felt base, mounted on a silk dupion covered hinged box base hand made using traditional embroidered box making techniques.  It now lives carefully preserved in a nice glass dome to keep the dust off.  #beadembroidery #beadwork #beading #embroideredbox #beads They’re breeding - lots of little Stegosaurus Drops from Pinkhot.  One more and then I’m going to ponder next steps.  #beadweaving #beads #beadwork Throwback Thursday to some previous moss on the lid of my 'Back to Nature' box which won the Beadworker's Guild Annual Challenge (Previous Winners Category) in 2021. Just because. A close up of my 'Back to Nature' box from a few years ago. I do very much enjoy stitching moss! #beadwork #goldwork #handembroidery #theindecisivebeader #sarahcryerbeadwork If you liked my latest fungi (and are a reasonably competent bead weaver), the tutorial is available in my Etsy and PayHip shops - several different shapes and colours covered along with ideas for adapting the design further. My ‘Sulphur Tufts with Moss on Wood’ from beginning to end.  The mushrooms are based on my Fungi beadweaving tutorial, and the background uses a range of hand and bead embroidery techniques.  The finished piece is now mounted and framed and I’m really pleased with it.  To go with it, continuing my theme of highlighting choral music that I love,  I’ve chosen a lovely piece of by Talbot called Santiago which I was very lucky to get to perform with the Anton Bruckner Choir last year - the full piece is quite extraordinary and this seminal recording by Tenebrae is worth listening to in full on the medium of your choice - absolutely stunning.  #beadwork #beading #theindecisivebeader #sarahcryerbeadwork #beadembroidery A little bit of beading for fun today - something super cute from @pinkhot_uk .  This is Chloe’s ‘Stegasaurus Drop’ tutorial - isn’t it darling?! Evening progress (forgot to take as many pics), and final image gives a clue to where this is going - yes, I’m finally making a home for the fungi I started on bead retreat last November!  Also you may notice I’m trying to satisfy the algorithms and post reels (whilst still keeping myself happy with still images - cunning) - so I’m including music which speaks of me, not ‘trending audio’ because I don’t want to be too compliant!  This is a tiny clip from a lovely Elgar part song ‘As Torrents in Summer’ because it’s about nice summer rain rather than our current tedious, cold, February rain, and it’s a lovely piece to sing (always guaranteed to bring rain to any open air concerts). Seek it out in full on your preferred music source and take some time to listen and breathe .  #beadembroidery #beadwork #handembroidery #mossportrait #beadednature
