My First Beaded Gourd

The Blue Gourd Was My very First Experiment With The Beaded Rim .
I Used Silk Dyeing Method On The Gourd .
The Inside Is Some Fiber Paper That Is Half Paper Half Cloth Stuff That Is Wonderful To Work With I Just Used Modge Podge

I Added Some Crushed Gold Granite On The Outside Then Sealed The Outside And Inside With Acrylic Resin It Made The Colors Pop Like Crazy.
The Beaded Rim I Used Japanese Seed beads.
There Uniform Quality Makes Your Work So Much Faster, And The Frustration Factor Well Worth There Price .
The Dangle Was Made With The Fringe Branch Stitch
I Used Swarovski Pearls And Crystals ..
I Sold This Piece And Miss It But That's How It Goes I'm Thrilled Whenever Someone Wants Something Ive Made For There House ....
