>Beading the White House

>

Semi- beaded White House painting. 17" x 6". Bead embroidery on felt. Work in progress.

I have been busy beading my felt White House for the past 2 days, and I have almost one third of the building complete. I am using 2 different shades of white size 11 seed beads. So far, I like how it looks but I will say that it is not easy to do bead embroidery on such a large area! Sometimes, I wonder if I am crazy for even attempting a project such as this! Then, I think about how I hope it will look when it is complete, and I just keep beading- at least until I need a break! Good thing it's the weekend - time to work on an item for my Etsy shop! :o

Also, before I forget, I want to point out a wicked cool motorcycle art & design blog I discovered yesterday. Check out The New Cafe(racer) Society. Scroll down a bit, and you'll see that my beaded Buell was mentioned in it! I am honoured! *blush* :D
