>Red, White, & Blue Men

>

After the crowd finally left, my blue beaded bus swung by the Hatch Shell to pick up Blue Man Group. They performed live with the Boston Pops earlier this evening, and put on a fantastic 4th of July performance. But, Blue Man Group happens to be quite busy, and they have a late night performance booked at the Charles Playhouse... Thank goodness my father is driving, otherwise they'd be late for their own show... And, the ride across town with the Blue Men is... well... a little loud...do the Blue Men ever stop?? Not to mention, Rudy doesn't know what to think... He loves drums & percussion instruments, but he never saw anything like the ones they brought... =:0

And, I know it seemed like I was finished beading my bus, but I'm not. Like Blue Man, everything I do has to be complex, so after I added side view mirrors, I started stitching on some blueberry-coloured size 11 seed beads right on top of the other beads. These beads look purple, but they are actually transparent blue glass that is lined with purple. I think the transparency adds a lot more depth to the dimension that I've already created. So far, I've stitched these beads onto the 2 front fenders, the hood, and I've just begun the roof, as well... You can either enlarge the photo above, or take a closer look HERE. Can you see the difference?? Next, I'll continue along the roof of the bus... if I have enough of this blue... =:0
