Second Finished Embroidered Piece

This is my new embroidered finished piece.
I keep practicing, keeping in mind what Ritual have told me regarding my first finished piece – she said that the nature of bead embroidery is not perfection, but acceptance… Thanks for that comment, Ritual, you are right and it's a lot more fun working while keeping in mind what you said… I haven't yet got to the point where I am not thinking of it at all, but it's a sort of easing… I'm still practicing and learning…

I have also got another thing for practicing bead embroidery. It's a guiding book that I have received from a very dear friend. The book is "Beading in the Native American Tradition" by David Dean. There are very easy to follow instructions, full of beautiful and inspiring photos, and what makes this book special in my eyes, are the philosophical Native American sayings that are "interwoven" in the explanations and instructions. Highly recommended book! Thank you again, dear friend, also for this one! :)
