Kitambaa

Piece of cloth
in Swahili

I finished the beading!

This close-up photo shows the thread work and beading.

I felt more comfortable -- well more confident with this piece. Much more confident than "Glitz, Glam, Gigawatt" on which I agonized, doubted, picked out, re-beaded and re-beaded.

The photo below is a close-up of the upper right corner. You can see the batik on the right and the Japanese barkcloth next to it on the left. Both photos above show the Crazy Quilt style of embroidered beading.




Here is the entire "piece of beaded cloth".

It is tiny, a mini-beaded quilt only about 6x7 inches.

I haven't put a back on it yet and need to decide what type of hanger to apply.
