Beaded Irish Jack Russell Terrier

beaded Irish Jack Russell Terrier bead embroidery pet portrait fine art pin Etsy
Bead embroidery on felt. 2- 1/8" wide x 1" tall (5.5 cm x 3cm)
Available for sale at The Lone Beader's Gallery Shop.


Yesterday, it snowed the entire day! So, I stayed home and did a little beading! I created this Irish Jack Russell Terrier wearable art pin for my Etsy shop! His design is inspired by the beaded dog in my Rudy's Dream pet portrait. Click the pic to see the listing. :D

As I said, I would like to stock some more items in my shop, so my goal is to make a number of small wearables before the end of the year. If there is any interest, I will continue to do so while I work on my larger pop art pieces. I also want to make some miniature bead-paintings, as well. I plan to start with dogs and birds, and see where that takes me... What kinds of dogs, birds, or animals would you like to see beaded? :)

You are so talented! I love Rudy's Dream and Einstein, and the tiger aceo! A giraffe would be fantastic, or do you ever do custom work from someone's pet photo?

Really good idea and that seems to go fast! However, I know you are quick regarding bead embroidery.
I would like to see a guinea pig. I would have a name for him ... If you bead it, let me know and I'll mail you my name suggestion! :)

The Lone Beader said...

Thanks for the comments! Yes, I would accept a commission to create a beaded pet portrait from someone's photo. I stated that on my Etsy shop. :)

And, this 'Rudy' is smaller than the original, and even though it seems to go fast, it still takes a long time to do! And, I was thinking of doing a guinea pig, too. Somewhere there is a picture of the one my mom had when she was a kid. The guinea pig was in water bowl, and he was peeking out over the edge. It was so cute!

What a wonderful little piece. I say lots of cats!

Mary Timme said...

Hmmmm, I'm drawing the best dog that ever lived, Ragskirt Von Timme. Now, I'm thinking I'll have to do a pin of her! Thanks for the idea of making my best dog, LB. Hope that is okay! Is it?

The Lone Beader said...

Cats! I will admit I am not a cat person, but would be happy to do one commission. I DO have a couple of BIG cats on my list, though! :D

And, glad to see I am an inspiration, Mary! ;)

Wow! This dog is really cute! How about some Greyhounds? Also it would be really cool if you made figurines of beaded dogs that stand up and are 3D! I bet they'd sell like hotcakes!

Natasha said...

I love this...look how cute! What about a Wheaten Terrier or a turtle...I just adore this dog and Einstein too!!

gogouci said...

The dog is so cute as it's alive!!

Love both the dog pins. I am way into pins/pendants these days so I can appreciate the time that goes into them.
Have a wonderful holiday!

Oh way cute. Am keen to know what major art pieces you are planning.

You're getting quite a menagerie going here, and of course we would be most honoured to be immortalised in beads. Thank you so much for thinking I am worth the effort. FAZ

Christine and FAZ said...

p.s. we think a humming bird would be nice

Dr. Deb said...

I LOVE THESE PUPPY ONES!!!!!!!

Gina E. said...

Need you ask? Cats and peacocks.
You've already done the others - tigers and owls.

The Lone Beader said...

Thanks for those suggestions! Cats and peacocks are on my list! ;)

The Jack Russell is my favorite. I have been breeding the "Irish" Jack Russell Terrier for years now... I would love to have you make a few of these for me.

Beautiful work.
