Celestial Fan on wire

It's just the look I wanted...  elegant and transparent.. but wasn't as easy as I thought it would be.. Would I do it again? Yes, if that's the look I wanted... but am I going to do it often ...NO!

My tips if you try this...

• You'll find out immediately you need to fold edges back or tape them so your threads don't snag.
• Use cotton thread instead of nylon beading thread as it is easier to handle
• It's really only works well if you lay beads across in  rows and then only about 3 at a time.
• I then couched AND then ran another stablelizing thread through the row in addtion...
• The wire does stretch and morph in shape but I got used to that...
• Stop and knot threads often...
• See previous blog for information on wire.

I wanted a fan of stars in the night sky and I think it works... It doesn't show as well in photo but you can actually see the "sky" through the crystals...
