I am working on a new beading sample which I am translating into my designs for my thesis collection. My thesis collection is very geometric. It is based on Islamic art and fragmented glass. This new beading sample that I am working on will be a cool optical accent in my collection.
My first step to creating the sample was to draw out my design on the stretched organza on my frame. Then I started at the outside and beaded out a nice clean frame with bugles.
The second step was to go in and begin the sequin circle in the center. Because the sequin circle is the motif with the most focus, it is important to fill in that area before beading the seed beads. After the sequin circle is complete the seed beads have a way of nestling in around the sequins nicely. I am excited to see how this turns out! I will be filling in the smaller geometric portions with tiny silver, white, and black seed beads. Stay tuned for updates!
