Melody in the Heart

One day class - Intermediate

The beautiful women in my chosen imagery seem to be deep in their own thoughts, making me think of the many secrets and thoughts they may have hidden in their souls.

Bead embroider this statement piece with a variety of two hole beads, cup chain and crystals. The combination of these elements created a layered work of art that is completed with fringe. This piece can be altered many ways giving you of course the creative freedom that I like to stress in my classes.
