Work In Progress Wednesday
New Project - the Mini Torso
A local bead artist, who is the wife of one of my students, encourged me to stitch one of these little beaded dresses. These mini torso dresses are her specialty. I ordered several of the little dress forms from a Japanese company called tutu. The company also sells bead dress kits, but I only bought the dress forms because I have many beads and many ideas for how to make the dress. The company promptly sent my order and I had it in only two or three days. I should be able to finish this one soon.

This is darling, Pamela. And so intricate. Beautifully done!
The bead dress is sweet, but I don't think I would wear it in real life!
You always have interesting projects on the go.
I have done a lot of native american beading, mostly to be worn. I have a beautiful bead doily made by a friend, but it is hard to set something on top, and it doesn't keep its shape if touched. At least the bead dress stays in shape as long as it has a model.
That's a fun dress! So I am sure you will have plenty of fashion items to show us in WIPW reports to come. Is the glass ball ornament for Christmas?
The beaded dress is just so cute. I am sure the beaded ornament ball will looks great.
Lovely color of your stitching project.
Clever idea to make those mini forms for beading. Your dress is charming- I look forward to more...and the finished ball. Love the Cross stitch design and tones.
A friend of mine makes a lot of these beaded dresses, sometimes really elaborate. You're is quite impressive for a first try!
