Taking a break from earrings to work on my bead applique. I'm still loving these unique and beautiful insects, so today I am working on a rosemary beetle. it's a gorgeous beetle that's iridescent green with stripes of fuchsia. I dug deep into my stash and pulled out my Miyuki delicas for this one, along with freshwater pearls and Swarovski crystals not quite sure what I'm going to end up using yet. This will be my first time working on a new beading foundation product that I was able to buy called Lacy's stiff stuff. So far, even though I've barely begun, I'm already liking how it feels to stitch through it and I found it very easy to trace onto. Yay for new projects! #beadersofinstagram #beadedinsect #beadapplique #beadart #lacysstiffstuff #rosemarybeetle #beetle #miyukidelica (at Victoria, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvzXCLihs83/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xqdxsy5pzksm
