Close-up: Semi- beaded White House relief painting. 17" x 6".
Bead embroidery on felt. Beadwork in progress.
This is how severely I bent my 3" beading needle - no wonder this section of the White House is going so slow for me... Do you let your beading needle get this bent? How long do you think this needle will last? Should I just junk it now, and get a new one? Or should I try to keep using it? What would you do? :o
