New project... beading a 3 meter length...

This is my New Years Resolution; I started this on my flight to Havana last summer with a secret needle, no scissors (my mini travel tooth floss worked a treat) - then left it mostly alone for the rest of the year. So, anyway, I have to either finish this by February for an exhibition deadline or by the end of 2014 (which is absolutely the most likely)... I have kind of working titled it 'An obsession with distressed architectural surfaces' OR 'An excuse for beading'...

I  intend to post images of my progress regularly (to make me do it) on my Facebook page so please have a look occasionally and help me out when I get stuck!

A few images from my sketchbook showing development work and sampling for 'Built Up, Broken Down' for the Contextile Triennial... just tell me when you have seen enough...
