StencilGirl Marrakech Express - Bead Embroidery

Marrakech Express Bead Embroider
photo and project by Janet Joehlin for
StencilGirl Talk
I am a stencil fiend, I admit it. I use them a lot - lately, a lot in my glass work. But, who knew to use stencils to create patterns for bead embroidery - Janet Joehlin - that's who! Janet is part of the Design Team for StencilGirl Talk. StencilGirl makes a huge variety of stencil in a huge number of motifs and I love them! 

Anyway, Janet used the Marrakech Mixed Stencil L 177 to create these lovely motifs that she later bead embroidered.

Janet has a detailed step by step at the StencilGirl Talk blog with close up photos. If you have never bead embroidered before, this is a really great tutorial to learn how - all the while creating some really lovely motifs you can use for jewelry, fiber arts or even mixed media.
