Speckledhen **Beading is DONE Pg 39**

Well thank you Ugly Cowboy and Micki...He is a lot of fun and it has been a great project, despite the tough moments. He is now in a specially made 19" x 24" frame so I could work on his lower parts.

the boy is too big for a hoop now.

Well finally Suede outgrew the embroidery hoop beyond being able to bead any further down or across...LOL The Blue tank exploded out of the hoop so I ran down to the local building supply and grabbed a 1 x 2 x 8, four heavy duty spring clamps and 2 C clamps. I came home and fired up the radial arm saw and built a frame which now measures 19" W x 24" H and with the help of both feet, both hands and DH's hands, I stretched the deerhide taunt over the frame, clipped it in place and said loudly



MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I GOT HIM NOW!

So here he is in his new specially made beading frame (ain't he special?)

a close-up of the current beading progress

he is coming right along.



He now weighs well over a pound and has surpassed 15,000 beads on him so far. Whew! But the big blue one is worthy of all those beads.

Another update soon!

1:30 am and I am calling it quits for the night. He is a lot to handle right now in this frame...I cannot turn him as easily as I could in the hoop to fit beads because the frame is so big but it is working fine...I like a challenge.

I am really tickled with it so far though.
