Updated with a MUCH better picture. Download for detailed view.

This is one of 4 parts to a project I'm working on. It's 8" x 8" and is bead embroidery on interfacing. I estimate about 80-90 hours including design time. I use primarily seed beads size 11/o and 15/o with Fireline. This is part of the 2007 Bead Journal Project (www.beadjournalproject.com). It was supposed to be done between June 2007 and May 2008 but I've gotten waaaaaay behind (I'm only done with 1/3 of the project). I'm working on the second quarter now, which is called Fire and I still have Water and Earth to go. When it's done, it will be a 16" x 16" piece that I want to be the top (under glass) of a mahogony table (not designed yet) or a wall hanging.

Update: Elemental Fire done: [link]

WOW! Thank you kitten-of-woe [link] for the Daily Deviation! I am so excited to have gotten this. The progress photos for Fire are on my blog [link] as well as any other works in progress. I'm almost half done with Fire and am looking forward to doing Water and Earth as well.

Holy crap that's amazing! I'm jealous of people who can just conceptualize something like this. I can follow instructions well, but I don't think I'm at a point in my crafting where I can just make something up on the fly and have it turn out as great as this.
