Bead embroidery - Beyond the basics: Going 3D
Bead embroidery - Beyond the basics: Going 3D
This session will extend bead embroidery skills by exploring stitches and techniques for creating layers, texture and 3D effects in the bead embroidery. We will work in the session on samplers of different techniques. Use these techniques for pendants, components to add to other beadwork or 3D beaded sculptures.
The final look of the pieces will depend on your chosen design/sampler.
