Beading!

So I've started on beading the dress today. It's going to be a lot of work and I'm really hoping it doesn't look utterly rediculous when I'm done. I started on the zipper, using a techinque I'd seen in the Threads magazine that had looked pretty cute. It's sewing the zipper in by hand, and taking a tiny backstitch with a bead. In this particular case, I'm taking a backstitch every half centimeter. I'm liking how it's turning out so far. ^^ Now I just have the other side of the zipper to do. Should be able to get that done tonight



I'm also taking a little inspiration from one of my current favorite deviant art artists.

I couldn't resist throwing that up in here. I love the detailed style of clothing he gives his drawings. If anyone ever wants to commission me to make one of his outfits, I'd jump at the chance just for the challenge they pose. But I digress. He also draws tattoos for people, so I found one that has a bit of a flowery shape to it, and I'm going to use it for as a pattern for the rest of my beading endevor. Hopefully I'll get a lot of that done on Wednesday while at work. Although rather than calling working at the Complete Strategist work, it's really more like sitting around with not much to do for several hours. Or getting paid to read, write, sew, paint, or whatever else I bring to occupy my time.
