Good morning! I am just experimenting with this process. I am a little intimited by writing out my thoughts for lots of folks to read. I am a quilter first, and have loved to bead for many years. My quilts are done in a variety of styles. Mostly I have used traditional patterns and worked with color and combinations to make them more original. More recently, I have been working with photos on fabric. I have been using photos printed on fabric as a focal point, then creating the "rest" of the scene using fabric, painting, embroidery, and quilting.
I have yet to add beads to any of these pieces, but I see that in my future.
I am also involved with dyeing and sunprinting. I have used beads to embellish and accentuate those pieces.
I am just beginning my first bead journal piece. I have yet to put needle to cloth, but I have been rolling ideas around in my head, and am thinking I am just about there. I am really liking what I am thinking about... but won't share just yet. Not until I actually commit!
