>Beading a Jack O'Lantern

>

Thanks for all your comments on my last post. I liked the idea of earrings, but I finally decided to turn my set of beaded pumpkins into metal-free buttons! You can see more photos of them HERE. And, I guess I'm in a Halloween mood! Either that or I was too lazy to put away my orange seed beads because yesterday, I worked on a beaded Jack O'Lantern!

First, I cut out some felt. Then, I stitched on his face using size 15 black seed beads.

Then, after quite a few stitches and a few hours later, he is (almost) complete!

Something made me stitch beads in all different directions, and I really like how it looks. Kinda makes him look even scarier! He is larger than my last set of beaded pumpkins (1"), so I think he will be a pin. Now, all I have to do is add a pinback & some Ultrasuede! Look for him in The Lone Beader's Gallery Shop! :)
