>Bright Orange Hood
>

Well, not a single monster knocked on my door last night. I guess kids in Quincy, MA aren't allowed to trick-or-treat at condo buildings.
Oh well. That means more candy for me:)
Since I had a peaceful evening last night, I was able to finish 'painting' the hood of my 1978 Datsun King Cab pick-up truck. This piece really IS starting to take shape. Now, it has a natural convex curve to it that really makes the grill stand out. My next question is: do I have enough of these size 11 orange beads to use for the rest of the body? Probably not... I might need to get creative and start mixing some oranges. I also think that I might add another layer of seed beads to the hood, but I'm not sure, yet. I'm going to sleep on it, and then see what happens.

In the meantime, I'm busy planning out a new (smaller) bead embroidery piece that I'll present on EBSQ Live! on December 11 at 9pm EST. I am very excited about this opportunity. I checked EBSQ's blog, and they've already mentioned me!! Anyways, I have a sketch; I picked out all my beads, and I took a couple of photos. I bet you can't guess what my subject will be this time...You'll just have to wait until then to find out...
