Welcome to the October Fest Blog Hop!
Today my post will be short as the participant list is long and you need time to hop.
I made one bead embroidered piece. My inspiration for this piece was a tornado.
I wanted to capture pent up energy. The whirling, swirling unpredictable motion of wild winds. I'm not sure I managed that. Now that I look at it I see a fire dancer instead.
This is my first raised bead embroidered piece. There is a piece of rope sewn down under the beads of the body of the funnel.
A HUGE thank you to Rita at Toletc Jewels/Jewel School Friends for putting this hop together. Here are all the other lovely participants, if you prefer they are all listed on Rita's blog as well:

Wow~the dimension and the colors and the theme and the emotion are all so strong and vivid. What a fantastic piece! The chaos and the energy comes through clearly, whether it be the intended tornado or the unintended fire dancer. Another fantastic piece, Liz!
