Love it the colors and textures are great!!
Hi Sharon this is a lovely piece, I have yet to attempt anything as encrusted. Do you embroider the whole piece and then add the beads or do you leave a space for whole lot of beads to be added later? Must try this soon!!
Gill I start off with placing the beads that will act as a point of emphasis – then some secondary smaller beads to lead the eye. I then establish a couple of linear elements in stitch. I try to hold off with the beads until at least a third of the area is stitched then I just let rip – hope that makes sense. I keep meaning to write a tutorial demonstrtating as I go but don’t get around to it.
I love these colours together. I did my City and Guilds in embroidery twenty years ago and the very first piece I produced was in similar colours. I had never thought to pair the two together and like yours it was a success. I have changed my style since then and love your ‘busy’ pieces. I work in bright colours all the time. Your work is inspiring. Maggie Morris.
Beautiful. I’d like to try something like this.
I think your bold colours are just perfect. Besides, the blue and orange are complements of each other. I love the beads especially the blue half-moons. Where do you find such unusual beads?
Hi Bridgette – I am a bead addict and source from all over the place – and happily shop online of course
I love your work Sharon.

Really love this with the vibrant colours. It works 100% ! Andy LW
I think the turquoise with the bright orange is a great pairing. I don’t know where (maybe you showed a preview of this item), but I saw those two colors together very recently and thought what a striking combination they made.
This is reminiscent of the US Southwest and it’s lovely! I would never have put these colours together myself and look what I would have missed. I do indeed like it and the choice of beads and stitches is fabulous.
It is beautiful! In America those are colors of the southwest. Stunning!!

I love it! All winter here in Alaska, the view outdoors is monochromatic. Your bright colors are so happy!
Love this!
