Wreath - to proceed on a repeatedly curving course - WITH BEADS, TONS OF BEADS

Made in 2010 over a period of several months out of all glass beads and head pins.

To create yourself: foam wreath form, several hundred glass beads, copper flat head pins, a wood wreath form, and spray glue. Stick each bead in with a flat head pin in a random pattern (tip-if the hole in the bed is too large use two head pins). When all the beads are in place use spray glue to bond, once dry hot glue a wooden wreath back to give extra support and enjoy.
