Cross one off....




The beadwork is done. I'm so very, very happy about that. Now it can go away, and I can finally work on something else. My next project for today is the farthingale. I even took pictures of the beadwork. My instructions were to make sure the entire front of the doublet had beads. When I finished the front, I only had eight beads left so I just did an accent on the back near the top. I think it looks really good. Since the doublet is for someone else, if asked I will bead the back also. Each bead is individually stitched on with silk thread. They are real pearls, but they are not round, more like potatoes.
