Bird T-Shirt

I admit that I spend a lot of time surfing on the Net. And as we have a very, very slow connection, I spend a lot of time, as well, waiting for the sites to load. I decided to use these pauses - I took a needle and thread, plain T-shirt and some beads and take a look at what came out of it.

I didn't draw anything. I wanted to make a bead embroidery as a painting. I wanted to create some ornamental picture, but as it continued this flying bird (peacock?) appeared:-)

I'd just like to comment that beading on a stretch was not such a good idea, as it expands and doesn't hold the shape. Maybe adding some non-stretch fabric on the wrong side when making embroidery could work next time..
