Melissa Shippee - Mariana the Anglerfish

Class Description:

Meet Mariana the Anglerfish, a playful and imaginative three-dimensional bead embroidery project that brings the mystery of the deep ocean to life. This sculptural design combines a variety of seed bead sizes, Czech glass beads, and lustrous crystal pearls to create rich texture and dimension.

What makes Mariana truly special is her glowing lure—illuminated by a tiny LED light. The discreet circuitry is cleverly housed within her body and operated by a small toggle switch, adding an exciting interactive element to your finished piece.

Perfect for beaders looking to expand their skills, this project offers a rewarding blend of structure, creativity, and a touch of technical intrigue.
