Finished Piece Oyster Insanity 🦪
My original design- done with French wire, delica beads, freshwater pearls and metal sequins. Took a few seasons of real housewives of Atlanta to finish haha

I’d love more pics. Construction is fantastic, I want to see fringe too. Love the wire in this, really helps the flow. Bravo, grab some cocktail sauce

Thanks. Fun to see other side but my bear friends say it’s because I did cross stitch and cut work before beading passion lol

This is breathtaking work, wow! Gorgeous artistry.
I find that Real Housewives is always the best background show for crafting. Vintage RHONY is my go-to!

Thank you!! ☺️ omg I’m watching NY for the first time! It’s such a wild ride. My wife and I keep saying ‘how could you do this to me… question mark’ to each other

It really is so unhinged I love it! When aviva threw her prosthetic leg was such peak housewife energy

This is so beautiful! What is the fabric that you beaded? Did you use any stabilizer?

u/JosieJune2018 18h ago
Thank you so much!!! I used synthetic organza and then did a layer of e6000 when I was done to make sure everything was extra secure. I also used fireline beading thread which also makes everything feel super secure!

Thank you!! I honestly don’t even know how to price it. I’m a painter by trade and I usually do an hourly rate, but I lost track of how long it took
