Just finished my piece of beadwork, I've definitely decided on black leather, and I'm looking at colors for the lazy/whip stitch. This is part of my book report series, the book being "Coyote America" by Dan Flores. He talks about how even after many campaigns of trying to annihilate them, they still thrive across the continent, from Alaska to New York. I hear them frequently and on one occasion I was beading and glanced out the window to see one over at the pull-off. Looking very healthy I might add, it was a big rabbit year. In this piece of beadwork work I tried to capture the fact that they are everywhere, in urban and rural settings. The campfire was my nod to the southwests supernatural stories about them, frequently a trickster type character. I'm so happy to have them as part of our wonderful world of animals. I was also happy with the way the beadwork turned out, always a little tricky with so many colors to make it look not muddled. The direction you lay the beads can really help with that. Plus, so fun and fast working on buildings and streets, lots of straight lines so you can really fly along!
