(click to enlarge)I have been pretty busy working my 'real' job the past few days, so I haven't had much time for beading, which drives me crazy.... So, today, I'd like to show you the reverse side of my blue beaded bus. This should give you an idea of how laborious bead embroidery can be. I always use the backstitch, and I stitch 3-5 seed beads at a time whenever possible. But, sometimes I can only stitch one at a time. I stopped counting the stitches...and the beads...and the hours... :0

The swooshy wave looks great!
Of the right or reverse, your work always shines!
Well I think it looking fantastic. You added a lot of the small detail type of thing with the line getting thicker and I like it a lot.
i've used some minor beadwork in my workq before. it IS laborious.
i actually also like how the backside looks.
as they say in german:
ein schoener ruecken kann auch entzuecken.
the back and the front look great!
Gives a whole new meaning to "back of the bus." And it looks so cool, too.
WOW! I bet that takes alot of work! Wonderful of you to share this with us!
*HUGS*
I have a friend (male) who is doing some beading for a Native American outfit he is putting together.
I told him about what you do, he was fascinated by it.
You have to stop counting stitches, beads and hours while beading!!! Otherwise, you will go mad, I guess.
Ha, ha, foam is right! "ein schoener ruecken kann auch entzuecken." :D When I played in a theater group in elimentary school the teacher always said it ironically to make us show our front instead of our back on the "stage". Memories ...
Oh man - everyone fell out of the bus when you turned it over. I hope noone was hurt.
The bus looks great! Working is not so great.
Lady you got skills!
Your bus is looking great!
I would go crazy trying to do something like that.
Awwww.... thanks for all the comments... and yes, Corky, working is not so great:(
your bead work is amazing...I was showing my hubby some of your work...wow is all I can say...you are extremely talented.....
The bus is really looking fantastic. I never keep track of how many hours etc in a project. I always try to enjoy the process.
Can I sit in the back of the bus? I'm just about to publish a post where I sit bside my future husband on the Magic Bus - could we be thee too? You wouldn't need to see us.....
