| PARIS - the most wonderful musical with great tunes. By an amazing Australian artist - Jon English. |
I am really pleased that I have finished this piece. It was a real struggle trying to interpret my vision for the music into beads and stitch. The background is coloured with watercolour pencils and ironed to fix. I then applied a piece of chiffon which I then ruched onto the background fabric. Because I tried to leave the stitching area not ruched it was not even but it does show the movement I wanted as like marble.
I used a different bead for each section of the letter to symbolise the various parts of the Paris story. I was pleased that the coin worked well and looks vaguely like a roman helmet which was my aim.
now onto the next one - Maree - very alternative and wonderful music tastes so this next piece should be fun.

The background achieves what you intended, so pretty. I can't help but think how work-intensive it was before you even started beading. The piece does have a Roman look to it, it's lovely!
Wow What a lovely comment. I am really pleased that it does have the look.
