Im finally finished with this part . Next , after a little break , I will start adding the beads .

I am going to lay this on another piece of fabric , and expand the design .

Im working on this right now . I need to break away from my other two , very time consuming works due to the stress on my crippled shoulders . I consider this a quick break away piece , until my shoulders feel better . Im also making a shelf made from nasty old cigarette boxes and paper mache .

and so

Ive decided to keep some spaces " open " , and added some gold enamel paint . Now I can concentrate on the beading .

Did I tell you ?

Ive always worked " assembly line style ". Most of the time , I am working two or more pieces at once , just switching back and forth . It takes a certain amount of discipline for me to work on and complete something without switching !  I have proved to myself , that I can do it , once in a while . Sometimes there will be a couple of months or even years before something is truly finished .          Ive added some gold metallic paint to this one , and I will be adding beads , of course .
