I don't know if I would use this technique again, actually; it took a lot of fiddling to make the bead stand secure.<BR/><BR/>CindyCynthia Newcomer Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06644821559839047113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814939478391716568.post-32233022920761783382009-03-23T08:13:00.000-07:002009-03-23T08:13:00.000-07:00I really love this piece.

I am working on a charity project (www.baedingforacure.org) and I hope you will answer a question about how you did this piece. I can do the embroidery, but what did you use as an armature in order to leave the window? and it seems the bead is attach to wire - does that help to create the shape of the piece. thank you Catherine Bond twokeltoi@msn.comwilliamsburg beaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01463084825749527713noreply@blogger.com
