27 Greens

I'm sure you won't be surprised to know that I am still working on my beaded trees! I counted how many different colour seed beads I'm using, and so far it is at least 27, but it might be more than that. I remember using all I had of some colours! Check out my beading work space below:

Work in progress.

The good news is, I have also begun to paint the 36" oval canvas for my beaded White House, but I want to work on it a bit more before I show you. I also started beading another little dog for my Etsy shop which I hope to list soon. Here's a sneak peek:

Looks like I have some beading to do this holiday weekend! If I don't get the chance to stop by your blog, I hope you have a Spectacular 4th of July! :)

I was noticing this morning that there are SO many greens out there, and now I'm starting to think that they all match, somehow. Happy, happy fourth! (Someday I'm gonna brave the madness and actually do it up in Boston with the Pops and the 1812 Overture and the whole shebang.)

I love that some of the patterns in your trees remind me of peacock feathers. :)

I LOVE the Jack Rusell Terrier. Do you have any other styles or versions of the JRT? Do you take custom orders?

The Lone Beader said...

Thanks for featuring me Lisa!! I am honoured!

And, thank you, Sheila! Yes, I do accept custom orders through my website or Etsy shop! I work best from photos. This little JRT is inspired by the one in my piece, Rudy's Dream:)
