Something New

I've spent a couple of afternoons in the studio learning something new. New for me, that is . . .



















This is one of my discarded early attempts. It took me several tries before I got into the rhythm and started to really see the pattern. It's herringbone stitch beading. I found it in a book of Christmas decorations. I think I've got the hang of it now, but it's slow and precise work, so I don't think I'll be doing a lot of it. On the other hand I do like the way the angled silver-lined beads pick up the light.

Even for a 'reject' it looks pretty and sparkly.
