Sequin Embroidered Squid

Squid.  Sequins, Seed Beads, Felt
11 x 4 inches on paper.



 
I was approached by Sarah, from Saturday Sequins to participate in a Sequins blog hop.  I agreed without  giving it much thought.  Sarah has been a huge supporter of my art and I wanted to reciprocate. I've only used sequins once before in college creating a Voodoo banner, but that was it.  Scrambling to start the project three days before the due date, without sequins and without an idea, I desperately went to my son's school and begged teachers to give me whatever sequins they had.  They all thought I was acting a bit crazy, handed over the sequins  and based on the colors, created this squid.  Sarah, you have possibly re-introduced a medium that I am fascinated with as much as beads.  WOW!
