#ArtAdventCalendar Day 8 is my bead embroidery of Lady Gaga!

I have fallen in love with bead embroidery over the past year and a half and have a big finish on the horizon that I can’t wait to share.

This was completed with 11/0 Miyuki delicas and 15/0 seed beads.

Here is meerkat’s finished woolly bear caterpillar, cocoon, and now WIP of the isabella tiger moth! 🐛🦋

The moth should really come together once I add the wings and finish detailing the body
