Beaded Mandala
It feels good to be stitching a beaded mandala again. It feels like forever stitch I worked on one but that's not true. I have used rather large beads on this small mandala. I am not sure that was the wisest choice. At this point, they seem a bit too big. I am wondering how I will make it work. I will ponder the possibilities.

I will enjoy watching where your pondering take you. I was drawn in by the brilliant fuchsia needs. Bright colors are so needed now.
ReplyDeleteOne way of making something large appear smaller is to divide it.
ReplyDeleteEither you can stitch a cross over each pink bead, or use Shisha Stitch to frame them and thereby take off a bit of the size. Or you can use paint or glued beads to add smaller patterns (ladybug dots....).
Another method is to tone down the impact by putting a piece of tulle over the entire mandala.
I am sure you can think of many more solutions.
