thejadedog's Proudest Creation
We've asked our Bead Art Original members to tell us about their "proudest creations." In this post, thejadedog tells us about hers, in her own words:
I was very disciplined when making this piece. I scheduled time every day for a month to complete it by a self-imposed deadline. I had no set idea what the finished purse would look like, and just let it grow as I stitched. With this work I taught myself herringbone for the strap covering, and the peacock itself was my first attempt at embroidery.

I completed this piece in October 2005 and it was a finalist in Bead Dreams 2006. It sold September 2008.

It is glorious!
I've always loved this piece!
A prize and a sale. It doesn't get better than that! It is a beautiful piece. I'm so glad to hear the story behind it.
It's a beautiful piece! Can't believe it's your first attempt at embroidery and herringbone - it's just perfect!
The beadwork is not only stunning but I also love the way you embellished this purse. It has such a nice texturous look to it. And a great lesson in discipline and focus - congratulations! Thanks for sharing its history.
Thank you everyone! You made my night.

Absolutely stunning!!!
I remember the first time I saw this bag. My eyes scoured every little bit of it, enjoying all the detail that you wove. Now, I'm so amazed that you were able to complete it within a month. The bag is amazing, and you are amazing!
