Just a Little Bit of Dancing

This week over at Every Inchie Monday, the theme is Ballet.  Back in 2012 I designed an inchie with ballet slippers.  The theme was dance. 

So this time I didn't want to make the same pattern so I decided to go with my first thought which was Swan Lake.  But how to make that into an inch??  This was what I came up with.  
Besides the fact that I added a white bead of a different shade, I like him.  He screams Swan Lake and I like that I was able to convey the theme in an inch.

Please take some time to fly on over to Every Inchie Monday and check out the rest of the awesome art!

Now, I have to apologize; last week I promised to post about the Sister Necklaces.  This last week, work was so hectic that I just did not have the energy to even read email, much less post here.  I will do my best to work on it this week. 

Have a blessed and beady week.

    Brilliant, brilliant, where would we be without Swan Lake, when one mentions the word 'ballet'!

    Love the ballet shoes & I understand why you wanted a different design so as to keep up with making a full set of inchies, it was perfectly logical to go with swan lake!

      Jean, thank you so much. There are many tutorials online that teach beginners about beading. This stitch is called peyote stitch. Here is a very clear tute that might help. When you do try it I would love to see what you come up with.http://www.beaditbabe.com/peyote.html
