Here is a quick sneak peak at my first beaded collar type necklace. After receiving my beads from ArtBeads, I quickly got to work. I have the majority of the bead embroidery done, just a few more rows to go. Then onto embellishing, sewing it onto the leather, and making a spiral rope to finish it. Almost done (I wish).
But even though I have a ton of work to do on it still, I'm really happy with it. I'm really having a lot of fun working in bead embroidery. It's fun to use the beads to paint pictures. I see plenty of bead embroidery in my future.
Stay tuned for more progress pictures in the upcoming days. We have a busy week ahead of us, but hopefully I can make some time for beads.

Can't wait to see the completed piece! I still haven't started my Artbeads piece yet...guess I should get on it today :) You make me feel like a slacker!
I figured I better get started when they posted the first round of pieces. I was like, 'crap, I better get going'. Oh life, sometimes it just gets in the way ;-)
Man you have put a lot of time and dedication into this piece. I look forward to seeing the complete collar.
Thank you Christy. I'm having so much fun with this piece, I can't wait to get it finished. :-)
