Beads

Stone House. Beads and embroidery.
This image was in my head for a long time. I started to collect beads from many different countries to stitch together to make this house, the first ones were purchased in South Africa. I first made the house on a different background fabric, but was not pleased with it, so undid it all and restitched it on to this soft alpaca form South America. Now I have to use up the rest of the beads, I have enough for a whole village!
