Tesha - Task 6b, Padded Beaded Monogram

 WOW!!! This project took a long time to stitch... I figure I spent 12-15 hours working on this monogram, and about half of that time was prior to any actual beading!  I think the time was worth it because the monogram turned out GREAT.  :)

I chose the letter "K" as a gift for my niece, and used opaque white Czech beads size 11.  

Below is the outline of my monogram:

Below is the final completely beaded monogram!

I didn't have any sequins that were small enough (or matched the blue/white color scheme) so I used a flower shaped button instead.    

I never would have tried this project if I hadn't had the encouragement from this course, but I am glad I learned how to do beading with padding.  I can see using the padded beading in other projects, like a beaded turtle shell, or the round red tummy of a robin.  

Thank you Kathy, for another fabulous learning experience...
