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...
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.
ReplyDeleteLooking 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!
ReplyDeleteGee, 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.
