Sometimes I'll use a #6 or #8 bead for my base row, as I did on this piece, if the area I'm covering is wider than the width of 5 or 6 seed beads. As far as the leaves, I use Delica's for the fish bone (think that's what's it's called!) stitch. Just the way the beads lay gives that puff. Hope this answers your questions! I'll post some of the stitches I use sometime.Robbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13506964994589004458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719325209119927620.post-91203168679295187122010-09-15T20:37:27.070-04:002010-09-15T20:37:27.070-04:00A lovely composition and interpretation.A lovely composition and interpretation.Kaylenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12675880623680893538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719325209119927620.post-59528484513815961612010-09-15T15:07:50.286-04:002010-09-15T15:07:50.286-04:00Hot, hot, hot is RIGHT!!!

Your work is so exact, and yet has none of that over-controlled feeling to it. The design and the way you do it both flow so beautifully. Color choices? OMG... I love your colors! Question... how did you do the stem and the slight puffyness of the leaves? I know several ways to achieve that look, and am wondering which you used. Bravo!!!<br /><br />Robin A.<br /><br />PS My captch letters are: obessess... interesting, huh!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700778413231259614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719325209119927620.post-48808154550763858492010-09-15T14:38:38.335-04:002010-09-15T14:38:38.335-04:00It's fabulous!It's fabulous!Vicki Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06929340703066037054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719325209119927620.post-20881777167561794422010-09-15T13:12:38.330-04:002010-09-15T13:12:38.330-04:00It definitely says August, and it's perfectly ...It definitely says August, and it's perfectly executed!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719325209119927620.post-72599134698679640152010-09-15T12:56:09.606-04:002010-09-15T12:56:09.606-04:00Robbie, it is absolutely glorious!
