Wow! Yesterday, I had quite a few visitors to this blog. Special thanks to Adam for mentioning me over at Universal Hub. Also, thanks to Nick who posted the MTA song for me. And last but not least, thanks to Christine & Faz who nominated me for the Totally Hip Blogger Award. Now I am blushing!! :D
If you're a new reader, welcome to my world of extreme bead embroidery. Here you'll find a lot of planning, sketching, cutting, stitching, beading & construction of dimensional artwork happening on a daily basis. Below, you see an image of a Boston trolley car. I enlarged yesterday's drawing so that it printed out over 4 sheets of paper.
Then, I cut it out, and taped the pieces together. The drawing now measures 19" x 7" tall, which is only an inch wider than my beaded yellow submarine...
Next, I must think about where I want this piece to go. I usually ask myself the following questions:
What kinds of beads should I use?
How should this piece be finished?
Should it be mounted on a canvas?
Should one of the doors open and close??
How deep should it be?
How thick should the felt foundation be?
How should this piece be supported from the back?
And, who will be riding inside the trolley??
Enquiring minds want to know. I think they'll be surprised when they find out... ;)
