BJP 2012 - August Submission

Here is my August bead pattern.  My beading projects are constructed of seed beads in a pattern to resemble lace.  Some of the designs will include a small amount of embroidery floss.  For this month I decided to use only the beads.


The following photo shows the inspiration lace edging I used.  What do you think?  I see things I could have done differently.  This one was a little difficult for me for some reason, but I am pretty satisfied with it.


It amazes me when I have each months images together (as I do under the BJP tab above), how differently the coloring is depending on the lighting I use.  I guess you will have to trust me that these are all created on the same fabric and with beads from the same hank...in case you were wondering ~ lol.

I find it so hard to believe each time I see one of your beaded laces that they are actually made of beads. They look far too delicate. Lovely!

Oh wow! this beaded lace is gorgeous! I have some very old lace like this that is tiny black beads. I can't imagine the patience to do this.
Beautiful!
