I could see it made from fabric but achieving that is another thing altogether! So as a compromise I've hand stitched beads .....
Round the edges I added some rolled up muslin and couched it in place. I also added some cross stitch and back stitching.

The finaly result is below. (click on pick for a more detailed view). I wanted to try and achieve the effect of an old tapestry on a wall in a(n) historical building. Don't think I've achieved that but it was certainly an interesting experiment.

love the hand sewn beads....it really adds that extra some thing to the piece.
Very nice interpretation with the beads, I did one with beads & sequins from plate 004- the Lynn Perella stamps are so versatile :-).

Wow Carol - I love this. I love the little tag shapes along the bottom and your rolled muslin and lace edgings. I'm always looking for ways of combining fabric and stamping and this has worked a treat.
wow Carol loving the stitching and the fab beads....terrific project. Hugs Annette x
