Back today with a new beaded moth brooch, this time with it's wings closed for a rest on a shoulder perhaps. Great for pairing with a suit or dress, or on a crimson peak inspired art nouveau costume perhaps? ✨

Since folks seemed to enjoy this moth buddy, I recently made a cicada friend using a similar color palette you can see here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/atJ3psuIvt3IkYE.html 💚🧵

Watching this makes me realize that I absolutely do not have the patience for beading. I barely have the patience for embroidery. But your INTRO LOOK. The hair, the wrap, the makeup, the shirt... It is *exquisite*.

I have been realizing I not only had everything to create these kinds of embroidered pieces, but how much I enjoy playing with color, materials, etc. I followed one of your beaded bugs first, using similar materials, and then progressed to making more using different materials like silk thread, thin shell beads, and figuring out how to mount them on plaques. Thank you for the inspiration to create something new!
