Tuscarora Tuesday

This beauty is in pretty sad shape, but still amazing.

I noticed the same 3 line edging that is on my class project is used here. 
It's a similar design, with all the filling in between the motifs. 
I really like that basketweave/lattice stitch. 
There seems to be a leaf and stem by each of the  flowers. 

And the bird nest flower appears to use 2 shades of white beads. 
 The outline looks more opaque to me.

I was surprised to see the raised rope actually has a paper outline. 
That couldn't have been too easy to cut out!

Bead Happy and Often :)

Still in the process of trying this myself, I have an increased respect for these beaders. That piece is amazing-so intricate and crammed full of beaded beauty!

(Finished the top wings of my butterfly--you were right--it looks better (right) after it was completed!)
