The Adventurous Egg

YAY!  Today is the day of the "Freeform Peyote Choose Your Own Adventure Reveal!"

The wooden eggs I found stashed away in my bead closet are 1 1/4" to 3 1/2" in size.  Seeing as how I was facing a time crunch I decided to start with the smallest ones and I plan to eventually to cover them all with beads.

 Egg #1:  Two different views:

Egg #2:  Experimenting with changing the beading path from horizontal to vertical:


 Egg #3:  Green!

  1. These eggs are fantastic! Creative and fun and great colors. I really appreciated your post about the anti-muse. That seems to be so true a lot of the time. Deadlines can cause the brain go completely blank.

  3. What a unique way to present Freeform Peyote! I hadn't even thought of covering a 3-dimensional object with freeform stitches. These will make gorgeous ornaments!! Great job SaraBeth!!

  5. What a fun and totally creative idea, working with the eggs. I definitely want to see where Egg #2 and Egg #3 end up! I am so glad you found a way around your anti-muse because I can tell you straight up, she's WRONG!

    At the same time, I know how hard she can be to ignore, because I have one myself that regularly hisses venom at me if I let her.

  9. Your post yesterday was intriguing, I couldn't wait to see what you had to show us! I love that you decided to bead outside the box and experiment when you found the eggs. A project series like this really lets you play, and I love what you've done, and can't wait to see the green egg!

  16. Oh my gosh, beaded eggs!!! What an original and clever idea, and well-timed with Easter just around the corner.

    You make beading around a three-dimensional shape look so easy! From experience, I know how challenging it can be.
