First effort: The Crimson Moon

May 6, 2010 by Denise Felton 1 Comment

This breathtaking work is the first bead-embroidered cuff ever stitched by Liz of The Crimson Moon. She says, “I don’t like seeing the white foundation fabric around the edges and is the reason I won’t be putting this piece for sale.” I think she’s being a bit hard on herself, don’t you? The simple design she chose allows the beauty of the beads to be prominent and focuses attention on the sweetfaced cab. Lovely. I can’t wait to see her second cuff! See more at Liz’s blog post.
