Beading!

I spent this past week working on two pieces of bead work - hopefully I can integrate them into the final work... I hate the thought of doing all that work for nothing!

(semi-)finished!

also semi-finished, as in I may revisit this piece and rework it or add to it. I had thought that I could add a pathway winding through the middle... possibly!

I used two old rags - from my Dad's workshop as the base for these. The beads are the seed-bead type common here in the Philippines, and I chose them randomly on purpose. The use of beads is significant in that some of my earliest and favourite memories are of making bracelets with these beads on the back porch of our house. We used to have a great time!
