Yes, I'm up late beading again. So, I thought I'd post a couple of quick pics of my oversized Yellow Submarine to give you an idea of what I'm dealing with. Remember, this piece is approx. 18" wide. It is so big, it barely fits on my small work table. :0

So, I've been allowing the table to support only half of the piece while I stitch through the other half. This seems to be working pretty well. Now, take a peek at the beads in the next photo. If you click the image, you'll see that I've been using 2 different types of beads - peach-lined yellow Magatamas & size 11 dark yellow matte seed beads. Any beads you see that look green are that colour because blue fabric markings are beneath them. These marks will eventually rinse out with water.

Also, look at the red seed beads around the windows. The Magatamas next to them sort of distort the frames around the windows. I'm not exactly liking that, and I haven't figured out what to do about it, either. Maybe I'll try to bead another circle around each one to smooth out their appearance... We'll see... All I know is, out of the 14 tubes of peach-lined yellow Magatamas I bought, I still have 9 left. I think I'll have enough! I hope. :0
