Post Full of Thanks

Back to the Future car DeLorean Einstein pop art beaded bead embroidered clock watch faces bead embroidery time travel
Beaded Back to the Future trilogy. Parts 1 & 2 of 3.
Bead embroidery on (2) 16" x 20" painted canvas. Work in progress.

First, thank you for all your comments and messages regarding my last post! Everyone's thoughts and ideas were pretty much the same, so I removed all of the antique clock parts from my 2nd Back to the Future painting. Then, I had to paint over the holes that showed through the canvas! I think I like this painting much better! You can see Part 1 and Part 2 side by side in the photo above. Please remember that Part 2 and Part 3 are not finished yet...

The second thank you goes to Beadexplorer. She surprised me by sending me this beautiful little wall hanging! It is a bead-knitted version of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album cover! Thank you, Nina! You are so sweet - I love it! I will hang it near my 'puter where I will see it everyday! :)

Finally, the last thank you goes to each and everyone of you who continue to stop by my blog everyday to see what I'm beading. I really appreciate your interest in my beadwork. Sometimes I think that if it weren't for you, I wouldn't dare try to bead the things I bead!

With that said, the Thanksgiving season is now upon us. I plan to spend the weekend with my family in Erie, PA. I hope to eat a lot of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and jellied cranberry sauce! But, I also hope to get some beading done. Believe it or not, but I haven't done any beadwork in awhile since I've been busy painting! So, I packed up quite a few of my seed beads, as well as some Czech glass beads. You can see a photo of them HERE. I also packed my painted canvas and beaded DeLoreans - just in case I am inspired! We'll see what I can accomplish...

Even though I won't be on Blogger for a week, I will be posting to Twitter, so please stop by and Follow Me! Also, don't forget to stop by The Lone Beader's Gallery Shop! Have a great week, don't eat too much, and I'll see you when I return!

Happy Thanksgiving! :D
