>Running Out
>
Thankfully, my tears dried up, and I was finally able to do some beadwork last night... Here's what I was able to accomplish: I finished the large beaded wheel & hubcap on my blue British bus. It's probably hard to tell, but I layered size 11 seed beads on both the inside & outside edges of the wheel. In the center, I used size 15 seed beads. You'll also see that I stitched on a large metal spacer bead for the hubcap. Then, I stitched a piece of zipper wire around the outside of the tire. I like using zippers for the tire tread; it looks pretty realistic. But, the problem is, I ran out of this size zipper because I used most of it for my beaded fire truck... I hate running out of a certain material mid-project... Maybe later, while I'm in town, I'll go to Windsor Button to look for an even smaller black zipper to use for the rest of the tire treads...
