Artist's Comments

Two really small pieces (both 4x11,5 cms). I finally figured out how to work with the smaller glass beads; I worry a bit though if the silver ones will be rusted in a while. Oh, woe. :lol:
I know, though. Headless. :shrug:

They are! Especially when you find the way to make it easier. :-)

Love the sensuous curves, lovely work Betti. :D

How do you do this. One glass bead at a time?

Thank you!

One at a time would make my hair ever more gray than it already is. :aww: No, I scatter them on the paint while it's still wet, and then get rid of the excess. That doesn't work with the slightly bigger beads, though, those are much slower to work with, and yeah, almost one by one process.

Interestingly enough, the exact same question passed through my mind seeing your lava flow fiber art, because those beads need to be sewn one by one. You have amazing fantasy and patience.

Thanks for the explanation. So you don't bake it to melt at all? They are glued to the background glass paint. Interesting, not seen this before.
Sometimes I like the one by one application of beads, especially sewing them. Therapeutic, or a no brainer kind of activity. But the Lava Flow, I needed to be careful where and how many were sewn. It didn't take all that long. I am unable to just sit and watch tv, must have some form of sewing to do. :D

I don't bake them, however, unfortunately it makes them a bit fragile, easy to ruin, probably.
I totally agree that it's a therapeutic thing to do. I'm absolutely not a patient person, and making these just proves the therapeutic quality even further for me.
I've done sewing, too, and funnily enough, I like to do it while watching tv, too! :D Except what needs to be done with machine.
