Coral Mermaid-Challeneging Beaded Peyote

Coral Mermaid - I will keep you up to date on this project. I will take pictures of the beads and up date you on this. I want the color of the beads to be right!

My next project I am challenging myself to do this. I have all the beads for this and the pattern made, however, when printing it out the printer at the bead store, the ink ran out of color on my pattern, which is hard to see. I think the colors of the beads I have don't really match the color of Coral the mermaid. My husband is going to buy the program for me so that we can get the closest accurate color of the print. It is a slow process at the moment and I am just coming to pieces, because I want to start my mermaid project like "Now"! I want to do it right so, I will be paitent.

The first pattern made took two tables and the floor. It has been condensed to 6 pages, cut and taped together.

I have gotten permission from Carol Phillips to turn her mermaid 'Coral' into a flat beaded peyote pattern. I want to make a peyote necklace.


The Coral Mermaid print is below. The Artist Carol Phillips did this remarkable painting below.
