Technique Tuesday!
After finishing Andromeda’s Pearls, I thought that it might be a good idea to share a really basic tutorial on bead embroidery, a project that can be finished in a few days (or even possibly one long day). Treasure Chest is the name of this piece. :-)
More and more often, modern jewelry is being influenced by techniques from other mixed media art forms. That is how Treasure Chest came to be: although I originally bought a set of watch-maker’s tins to use in some assemblage work and altered books, it occurred to me that a tin would also be a perfect little niche on a pin or pendant. Just the right size to hold a favorite token, the glass-topped tin can be sealed to make it permanent, or left loose to allow for an ever-changing display!

Arline! You must be reading my mind :-)
I’ve actually been thinking about doing something wearable for next year’s BJP pages…
Cyndi,
This is right up my alley. I was trying to destash some old jewelry pieces recently and found a bunch of cool objects to bead around. Hmmm. I’m thinking next year’s BJP pages. Great idea.

Hi Leslie! You can use anything for a centerpiece that you want, and after you’ve glued it down, just use any simple pattern to fill the canvas :-) I hope you’ll find the time to make one!
This is a wonderful idea and the instructions are great. I’m new to this type of beading so it may be a while before I attempt something like this, but it is definitely on my list of future projects.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful work and knowledge.
Leslie
