Just when I thought I was finished beading my M1 Abrams military tank, I added more seed beads! After finishing the wheels, I added more Japanese size 15 sand-coloured beads all over the body of the tank using lazy stitch technique! I think it adds a bit of texture, and I really like how it looks! Can you see the stitches??
I have also stitched a zipper to the bottom of the tank, although I’m not sure I like it just yet – I may add another one! Then, I have to stitch the entire tank together, as it is still 3 separate pieces… Wish me luck! 🙂

>Wow that looks great!
>Seriously, those are amazing. I once started a beaded shirt in high school, it was actually a repair that I just kept going on. I never wore it after that and still have it. This is going back over (ahem) 20 years. Great job!
>The texture really makes me look at it more than once. And the zipper works!
>As a wife to a now retired army guy, I've seen my share of tanks. I think I like yours the best!
>Wow! I didn't know a tank could be so beautiful!
>It looks awesome.
>It looks brilliant LB
>Fantastic! Love the addition of the beads! I'm just amazed at your artwork!
