Bead Embroidery

Bead embroidery art

Richard Preston (Richard Preston) from Toronto (Canada) is not limited to the narrow limits of a single creative direction, trying himself as a painter, sculptor, designer, photographer, writer, actor, musician ... One of his passions was working with beads, and now about thirty years in the light appear original things, filled with vivid and colorful ethnic motifs author's power. 

 In 1979, long hair, hung with "Baubles" by Richard Preston, just returned from a hitchhiking across Canada, initiated the establishment of West Coast Jacket (Jackets of the West Coast, 1980) - the first of a series of military jackets on which beads or embroidery, it creates a variety of topical or abstract paintings. Army clothing, embroidered sun, clouds, heaps of stars, river flows, with flowers, including a lush pink wreath on her head skeleton, symbolizing death, covered with designs with a touch of psychedelic aesthetic, makes a strong and rather contradictory impression, transforming each jacket - originally impersonal thing - a unique and truly a conceptual object. As acknowledged by Preston, but interest in working with new material, inspiring momentum served as a major transformation in public consciousness and personal rethinking of global problems, such as demilitarization.

Make the beaded hearts first

Method:

1.Cover the flattest side of the wooden hearts with DSSP, making sure the DSSP edges are cut flush to the hearts.

2.Make the large heart: 

Twist together the ends of a length of each of the purple and silver wires (approx 200mm long). 
String beads along the wires, choosing randomly from your bead selection, sometimes threading them over both wires, sometimes over only the purple wire. 
When the purple wire only has beads, wind the silver wire around a large needle to create spirals and then rejoin the wires together to continue stringing the beads. (See picture below) 
When the beaded wire is long enough, fashion it into a heart shape that fits onto the 40mm heart shape, twist the ends together, trim and wind the ends behind the beads out of sight.
Remove the top piece of backing from the DSSP and arrange the bead heart onto the sticky tile, pushing it down firmly to ensure it adheres tightly to the tile. 
Emboss as instructed below.
