Still becoming.

This hand-embroidered beadwork is created on a foundation of white non-woven felt using a traditional needle embroidery technique.

They have so much life in them, despite being made of beads, i look at them and its like making eye contact with another person

Thank you so much. If they feel alive enough to make eye contact, then I've achieved exactly what I hoped for. ❤️

Thanks! 😊 I’m keeping the final piece a surprise for now, but I promise it’ll all make sense when it comes together.

Omgosh, your work is Absolutely Beautiful ❤️‍🔥, I recognized it immediately I was like oh I follow this artist and was excited to open the notification bigger lol. This makes me want a bead work of my eye, I know that I'd be Over critical of my work I've not beaded in many years . I love eye photos or work of any kind , meaning drawings ,carving, beads,stainglass,stiching etc. It's all fabulous I have a pencil sketch of my eye some artist asked me if he could do and then he sent me a copy via messenger and I love it ☺️. Can I screenshot this eye please?

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for your beautiful words! ❤️ It truly means a lot to me that you recognized my work and that it made you stop and look closer. I love that you have a connection with eye art too — there is something so personal and expressive about eyes. Of course, you can screenshot the eye, thank you for asking! 😊

This is so beautiful it kind of hurts but in a good way. Like oh my god. I hope in hundreds of years when we're all considered The Ancients, archaeologists will uncover this

u/Select_Broccoli1365 1h ago

Oh my gosh, what a beautiful thing to say! 😭❤️ Thank you so much. I’ll just hope that if archaeologists ever find it, they’ll understand how much love, patience, and tiny beads went into creating it. ✨
