Fine, I already wrote about beading and even about this specific editorial (I think?), but I really needed to show this again. I wrote about it, I believe, in the context of a harness, but I wanted to write about it again in correlation with beading and pearls and embellishment (such a delicious word, I have to think about it more, roll it around in my mouth, and so on).

Images found here.

There is a sort of Smaug-TLOTR-creepiness going on in the image at the bottom, but pearls and embellishments and the model totally looks like Tilda Swinton as The White Witch in the Narnia-books, and MESH FACE MASK, and just, so many beads... I think about armours and covers and part of me wishes I was in fashion but I know I would slowly kill myself and then starting to hate clothes... But now all I want to do is embellish clothing so it is really, really heavy and not like the soundsuits, but to make the beads abstract the person wearing them, and change them, somehow.

The beadings on paper are only covering faces and body parts, but I want to cover something else entirely in clothing: the face is not so interesting, and I am not too keen on masks (it just... no, not for me, I think), but the rest of the body. Embroidering
