more recent beadwork projects i have been working on

Something must be wrong with me, I haven't talked about the beadnet dress in forever.

It consists of seven thousand faience beads in blue green and blue to imitate turquoise and lapis lazuli. It is 4600 years old (the threading is modern, but the beads were found in their original pattern so this reconstruction is as accurate as it can be). It is one of the most gorgeous garments in existence and was owned by a woman who was a contemporary of king Khufu.

The dress was found in her tomb in Giza, known as Tomb G 7440 Z, and it's the earliest known garment of this type.

“my heart is a stopped geranium”

collage, hand embroidery, gouache, and beads on muslin 🩸

I picked up a new skill today! I made beaded flat lucet cord! The tension is trickier, I stopped when my yarn snapped after about two feet. Maybe I'm just too used to the crochet cotton and I have to be gentler.

Anyway, maybe I'll make some of this up as largesse! I don't have a plan for using it currently.

Spent half of Sunday playing around with my beads and tutorials from on Pinterest. I ended up with this bracelet that’s reminiscent of a crown, which I really quite like.
