(2006) 3.5" x 3.25" delica beads (matte black, matte dark olive, matte dark grey, silver-lined white opal, lined peach, silver-lined pale red, silver-lined red, lined garnet, matte avocado, matte transparent avocado, silver-lined green opal, 14 carat gold) size 15 seed beads (14 carat gold), nylon thread.
I based this design of three interlinking hibiscus flowers on traditional Japanese trefoil crests, such as the aoi of the Tokugawa family, wanting something summery and intense in color, but also formal and elegant and somewhat abstract.
Thank you! I pretty much spend my evenings beading. Hubby is a bit of a telly addict, so that gives me time to keep him company without dying of boredom at the same time...

I would imagine these take forever to do. I do much smaller versions and it takes me over an hour to do a piece that is 8 beads wide and about an inch tall
Thank you! I think the more you do the quicker you become. A pattern like this would have freaked me out a few years ago, now I can't wait to sink my teeth into it....

I love this one! The pattern reminds me so much of Japanese crest designs.
Yeah, sometimes I need to just work in front of the tube, 'cause I'm to tired to draw in front of observation. For me its crochet & knitting, though I would love to learn how to bead!
I really love the colors...keep up the great work!
It's gorgeous! I would probably go blind tring to do this beautiful craft. The beads are so small, and tring to get the pattern right. I am in awe of your talent.
I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P
