When I was studying for my Diploma of Studio Stitch (Textiles) - textile art - we had a fantastic teacher who was obsesssed with pears. They are rather attractive, I suppose! One assignment we were given was to choose from a small list of things (I forget the rest, but pears was definitely one of them!) and do three small items, each one using a different technique. I started this as one of them but realised that it was so time-consuming that it was better to use it for my end-of-semester piece, a folder cover, and did three other pears instead. (They will be appearing during Blogtoberfest!)
This was probably only my second major piece of bead embroidery and I am very pleased with it. It mostly uses czech seed beads with some other beads from my stash, and some small buttons, sewn straight onto cream felt. I still feel rather proud of this piece!

I agree, quite a lot of people like pears- quilters do and painters too, and another lady makes felted pears. Your pear- so much work in that beading!! It's lovely.
It's beautiful! And so much work!!
this is soooo appealing. I expect great things from you and don't forget the apple for teacher..not a pear, an apple!!
I love the shape of pears but I don't think I'd have the patience (or skill!) to make anything like this!!
What an amazing piece of work. Very beautiful!
I like pears : }
and your bead embroidery is truly amazing!
Oh my, the patience you must have to tackle such a large project! It's beautifully done, too. :)
