Firecracker in rust and yellows
I really like the way this turned out. The two shades of peach russet and buttercream yellow with complimentary beading. Flecks of gold adds to its dimension. This also can be posed but is not a toy. Length is approximately 9” and the width without beadwork is approximately 1”. Read more
