Really beautiful beadwork--very unique piece of art! I agree with Judi--love the above pic. Sweet expression on that little face!
Your beadwork is stunning. I've never seen anything as intricate. Do you do it like embroidery, but fasten each bead with a stitch?
That is kind of amazing. Do you make up a sort of "paint by number" map so you know how to follow it or is all by eye?
Thank you for all you comments and sugestions on Anastasia's picture I like the picture that you guys pick too, so I soon I finish the proyect I am doing rigth now I will get started on her.

I take a picture of the motif, blow it up to a reasonable size and printed in a pieces of cotton fabric, after that I just apply sew the beads in rows trying to give the picture shadows and lights and in the case of Hopes picture I try to add texture to follow the pattern of the hair

Yes you can say is pretty similar to paint by numbers but with beads and a lot of imagination.

I am working right now in a face of a English Bulldog for my nice, and I have made an Eagle head for a friend of mine and some other design of my own with not picture in the back ground just a drawing.

After the Bulldog I am planning on do Anastasia’s picture, and then a project for a friend of mine, I love doing it is very peaceful and calming.

I think I like doing more OES dogs because the hair and the expressions, they are funny and pretty and a challenge to do , if somebody is interested on a bead portrait of there OES or other , let me know we can talk and see if I can do it for you

Hope’s picture is 8 x 12 or so, and took me around 3 or 4 months to make.
Your creativity is awesome! What a beautiful tribute to your Hope :hearts:
Beautiful beading of a beautiful face :clappurple: , bet it would work with embroidery cotton too.
