I decided to try and make a few beaded pictures like this because I was asked at a few shows if I have ever made any that were scenes not just pretty designs. That got me thinking, why not? I've made many a cuff that had a lovely beaded theme on it, like my Walk in the Garden cuff, so why not try it out on a larger scale.
I'm very happy with this one. It's simple, but still awesome. Okay, I think it's awesome, I'm not really sure if anyone else feels that way. But I feel like I'm finally starting to find my voice in beadwork. I'm finding something that I really love to do. Something that I can put my heart and soul into. And I'm loving that. It only took me fifteen years ;-)
I am currently working on a new beach themed picture. I guess as winter starts blowing in (and boy was it this morning), I'm thinking of tropical islands and warm sandy beaches. Sounds wonderful. Whoa, I think I just started to daydream there, lets get back to beadwork. So, as I was saying, I'm working on a new one that I'll have progress pictures soon.
So what do you think, yay or nay? And do you have any suggestions on frame color. I was thinking maybe silver, but I'm not sure. I'd love to hear everyone's opinion.
Have a wonderful Monday!

Frame color- I'd say a charcoal grey. I really love the details in this piece- the ways you've chosen to orient the beads. It's so lovely that you've finally found your voice and passion!
Wow! Victoria, I'm loving this beaded skyline! I love the swirly nightsky and the sparkly beads you used for the stars.
So great you have found your passion!
It turned out beautifully! I look forward to seeing more of these pieces. I think that silver would work well for the frame.
Wow...this is amazing! I can't imagine the time and love you put into your creations! The beach theme sounds awesome!
I think a red would look great for the frame. But if you want to stay neutral, I'm with Rose on the silver.
