More bead weaving and a bit of weaving. I came up with this idea when the bracelet was to short for my wrist. Turned out real nice.

And a peyote ring :)

Bead weaving for a change :)

        

 

A beautiful new addition to my needlepoint family ... Late 19th Century Berlin Woolwork with beads stitched on very fine silk gauze.

Beaded Berlin Work
Origin : English

New addition to my collection :) Possibly late 19th Century and in perfect condition though the colours have faded away. Overall size is 47 cm square ... The lilies are all beads; rest stitched with wool. Have a look at the reverse picture below to see the original colours.  

          

 

This spectacular beadwork and needlepoint ( Berlin Work - Late 19th or early 20th Century ) chairback is from Iowa, USA ... As to how it got there and to whom it belonged to as well as its stitcher will always be a mystery. It is quite big ( 45 x 60 cm ) and in EXCELLENT condition.

Now happily residing in its new home :)

 

  

 

I had mentioned this kit before ... Stitching on and off, finished yesterday!
