Beading the fractured circles


I've been beading my fractured circle blocks and thought I'd show you a few. I have 36 altogether. 


I've backed them with Warm and Natural batting. When I'm done beading and embroidering (which could be a year from now or a month) I'll arrange them on a sturdy backing. Not sure yet if I'll sew them on by machine or with hand embroidery.


 
This is the stack that sits by my window chair, inviting me to while away another hour or so instead of  putting away the Christmas stuff, cleaning or cooking.

I'd rather be beading!


To see what some other fiber artists have been up to this week, check out Nina Marie's Off-the-Wall Friday at http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.com/2015/01/steal-like-artist-off-wall-friday.html#

Such patience with all that hand stitching! It is so effective, so well worth it. I love your colours and patterns.
