Beaded Blue Tit in the making

Making the Blue Tit is not a quick job and takes a bit of working out but the results are so worth it! This is my first time creating a sculpture with seed beads, but I am almost certain it wont be my last, some of the effects and details I achieved just could not be done with wire alone, especial the subtle colour graduations. I won't be ruling out wire but I will certainly be using seed beads in the future for details.  
​These Photos are not a definitive guide to making the bird but in conjunction with the demonstration on Jewellery Maker at 1 pm on Friday 16th June, they should go a long way to helping you create your own. Happy making!
