This is the final Art Bead Scene Challenge for 2012.
Thank goodness it’s a lovely winter scene without all of the “red and green” holiday scene background!
Sleeping Beauty by Erté, 1983
26 1/2″ x 33″ Serigraph
(color palette by Brandi Hussey)
It took me some time to come up with a design. I decided that I wanted to try my hand at needle tatting. So, I purchased some tatting needles and surfed for an on line video and the rest is history. Ironically enough, my Grandmother was a master seamstress and tatter.
Materials used: tatting thread, seed beads, felt, buttons, needle and thread.
Check out more artisan designs over at the ABS flickr group.
What a striking and utterly unique interpretation of the Erte print! Beautiful work! Reading your post calls to mind my husband’s grandmother, and the moments we shared as I cleaned up after dinner and she sat at the kitchen table tatting!How I wish I could turn back the clock, walk away from the dishes and linger at her side.
You amaze me as every time and very often You dare to try something new
love it <3<3 !!
Thanks.
