>Art Deco Window Hoods

>

It has been awhile since I posted the progress of my beaded White House! Here's what I have completed so far:

I have been working on the window hoods. I used long twisted white bugle beads (for the triangles) from my local bead shop and white half bugles (for the semi-circles) from the Bead Shop in London. I also used some Toho gray 15/0 seed beads I got from Artbeads.com. This gray is my new favourite colour! :D

Semi- beaded White House relief painting. 17" x 6".

Bead embroidery on felt. Beadwork in progress.

The window mouldings are actually made from 2 layers of bugle beads, so they really stand out! And, for some reason, they look very art deco to me... What do you think?
