Tux in Spring Flowers

My latest custom beaded pet portrait is complete! This piece was inspired by a dear cat named Tux.

She was created by stitching tiny glass 15/o seed beads to layered felt. I used several different shades of black, gray, and white to create her. After she was completed, I stitched her to a bright turquoise blue Ultrasuede background. And finally, I stitched tiny glass leaves and Czech glass flowers all around her as if she were laying in a spring garden. This beadwork was mounted in an 8" x 8" shadowbox frame.

Tux was a special companion to a man who recently passed away as a result of Lou Gehrig's disease, or ALS. May they both be remembered forever. <3
