This are examples playing with lots of different materials.
The most of embellishment techniques I used over the years is my favorite stitsch " the chain stitch" ( I don't know this is the right translation)
One of my older work is the poster of the show " Varekai" of the cirque du soleil. All bij hand ( chane stitch)
also one quilt with the Muppets for my grandson. All the figures are applique with my favorite stitch
When I use beads, I usually make my own beads with paper, silk or tyvek.

Ann, I love your examples, especially the wrapped beads! I have only tried making my own beads once, and was not totally satisfied. Guess it's time to try them again! Thanks for the inspiration!

Ann. this is a beautiful idea, making your own beads...
this can lead to a really unique composition. I especially like the long wine red pieces on the quilt.
Thank you for sharing your samples. I love seeing your work--especially your hand-made beads.
Love you work An. I have always like metal and used it a lot early on and I also love your beads. Do you think you can do a short post on the bead making process?
Beautiful work Ann. Love it.
For my last quilt I made beads from fabric as well and you can easily get addicted to it.
Making those pretty beads would be a nice month theme too, I love how you use them in your quilt.
