Each animal portrait begins as a photograph and is transformed into a beading chart. The glass seed beads are hand sewn using peyote stitch, an off-loom bead weaving technique, into a unique portrait. Colors can be adjusted (within the limits of available hues) to suit your desires. These contemporary artworks are an alternative to a traditional painted portrait.

Sue Hicke specializes in beaded portraits. The portraits are stitched with tiny glass seed beads from Japan. Each design is unique; the weave is traditional peyote-stitch, an off-loom bead weaving technique. Cost is determined by the size of the portrait.
