Using Charts to Bead

I was showing my cousin Karen, Greek goddess of cheerfulness, appreciating good humor and beading, my beaded version of two of the fall designs. She suggested that I frame them. So I sewed them onto white silk, painted some raw pine frames black and framed them. Conversion from DMC to Delica beads is on the website, fronyritterdesigns.com.

Beaded Wine Charms

Just for fun I took the Birthday Wine Charm kit and converted it to beading, using flat square stitch, instructions on www.fusionbeads.com under techniques. Here is how they turned out.
