Thanks Amy. More time consuming then difficult. I made a frame with wire. Was able to bead the large beads for eyes and nose on the large gauge wire. But the smaller beads I strung seperatly and were added later with more wire :) Viola!

It really wasn't hard Amy. It was a little dangerous, becuase the wire I used for the frame was a thick gauge and it's sharp. So you have to be careful not to cut yourself or poke your eye out. Gloves and googles were probably in order...but I like to live on the wild side ;)
Thanks Lulu :)

That's a very clever idea with a very pretty result. Well done you but it sounds too fiddly for me :)

Thank you. Making something like this is just not your cup of tea, huh Gee? I like fiddling w things like this.

I'd have beads all over the place, Tastey :) I used to do lots of knitting and crochet work (as well as macrame when it was all the rage) but problems with my wrists stopped all that some years ago. Now I just admire the skills of others :)

Oh, sorry to hear about your wrists Gee, that's awful. I have a friend that is a bead-amaniac and she's had issues w tendonitis. It's sad when you really enjoy doing something and then you no longer can!!! NO FAIR!!!
