Description

Where do I start? After my 5 y.o. started bringing all her work home from her first year at school, I started looking through all her drawings. I came across one where she had drawn various members of our family. There was something sweet and innocent about how she saw us all as stick figures! What more bead inspiration could I ask for?

Made using Moretti/ Effetre glass (on a 1.6mm mandrel) the beads are on a very pale green base with black stringer designs. Beads measure as follows:

Dad: 3cm x 1.5cm
Mum: 3.1cm by 1.5cm
Son: 2.3cm x 1.5cm
Daughter: 2.5cm x 1.3cm

All beads are pressed freehand with no 'uniform' shape involved, so each bead is unique - like each family member really- and have an approximate thickness of 7mm.
