| This is a bookmark I made for my dear friend, Phil, for Christmas 2007. Yes, that's the Mona Lisa...well, a bit of her, at least! (Phil and I have a standing joke about Mona that goes back over 30 years.) She's stitched in flat peyote using four colors of #11 matte-finish Delica seed beads. (I know it looks like more than four colors but one had an iridescent finish.) I found this pattern on the Bead and Button Magazine website. As of this posting (2/15/08), it appears they are no longer offering this as a free project (originally it was supposed to be a bracelet). I can't remember the designer off the top of my head...I'll have to look around for the pattern I printed out; when I find it I'll post her name here. Mona's approximately an inch wide and five or six inches long. |
