Beading Serenity, Day 7

The Dark Emerald Bead-O-Meter

After an extremely frustrating session of fumbling, mistakes, and general brainlessness, I finally made some progress on my massive fannish project today. I might have the beadwork done in time to baste this sucker onto the back of my denim jacket to wear to the opening next Friday.





The gaps are where I need some partial rows to make up for irregularities in bead sizes. If it looks a little, um, oblongish, it is. *mutters imprecations at unreliable beadwork software*

I may have to do some fast faking with the remaining pattern to minimize the effect.



The Serenity Coat, however, is going to take me till the London convention (mid-November) to finish. It has morphed in concept from Mal to Inara--from brown leather to silk and velvet.





If you look closely, you can make out the beadwork hidden in there.

So. What do you think so far?

The coat with the beading is going to look absolutely amazing. Wow.

Thanks! I sure hope you're right.

Your icon is gorgeous! I see "Zen Fen" icons around from time to time--what does it refer to?

lanning used to make them. I don't know if she still does. She called it icon therapy.
