Beading Serenity, Day 7

The Dark Emerald Bead-O-Meter

3,971 / 8,534 (46.0%)

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?

Yeah. I do understand. I saw some pics of me online from the Austin shindig and I was all, "eep".

But really, the main design will be on the back, yes? That may save you some anxiety. :-)

Yeah, because being photographed from behind is always better than seeing yourself from in front.

Nope, I'm thinking "pretty young woman" is my best solution.
