Button painting tutorial

My paisley party plan



I plan to do them in pairs.  One more traditional and experiment with shapes and extensions.  I hope to use lots of my favorite beads  that haven't found a purpose.  You know the ones you love the minute you see them, buy them and then never find the perfect spot for them.  I have a LOT of those.






And the second to push the concept.   I do know   in some I want to incorporate free-form bead embroidery rather that just following the pickle shape...

And some creating bead/button flowers in the centers and filling in..  Need to gather up all my tiniest beads for this to work...Anxious to get started.






It's nice to know I have a whole year to play around with these.....  Let the paisley party begin...

  1. A chance to use beads and create paisley "pickles" will be such a wonderful pursuit for this year. I shall be enchanted following your paisley progress.

  2. Looking forward to seeing where you take Paisleys! I have a few of those beautiful beads that "had" to come home with me too. If I can find any spare time among all the other projects I have lined up, I may play along with you and try a paisley or two myself!

  3. Gee, I think we all must have a lot of those beads. Let's face it, you can only use a few beads on a cq block and I have way more than a few! Maybe I'll have to add "more beading" to my goals for this year.
