The Winter 2020 mystery class at Bedecked and Beadazzled is going to be all about this lovely Lady with a Lime Green Background from Colors of Praise.

As Ruth works her magic, I'll update this article so you can follow along.

UPDATES:  The first area Ruth tackled is the face.  Check out the special touches that brought all that tent stitch to life.

Next, Ruth created wallpaper for the background.

Now she tackles the hair and the flower in the lady's hair.

The peacock feather is beaded and the leaves in her hair are doing with short lengths of metal threads.
