>Layered Lazy Stitch
>
Just when I thought I was finished beading my M1 Abrams military tank, I added more seed beads! After finishing the wheels, I added more Japanese size 15 sand-coloured beads all over the body of the tank using lazy stitch technique! I think it adds a bit of texture, and I really like how it looks! Can you see the stitches??
Semi-beaded M1 Abrams main battle tank. Bead embroidery on f elt.
17" wide x 5.5" tall (40 x 13cm)
I have also stitched a zipper to the bottom of the tank, although I'm not sure I like it just yet - I may add another one! Then, I have to stitch the entire tank together, as it is still 3 separate pieces... Wish me luck! :)
