 After the stitch-out, I have begun adding the hand beaded details. This is to show in my entry that I am capable of both digital and hand stitched designs.  So far I have completed the main body of the dress by creating a rainbow gradient effect using delicate glass beads and sequins. These beaded details are going to bring back more of the glamorous side of drag and provides a more interesting contrast between subject matter and the materials and techniques used. 

 To develop this sample further, I added some hand stitched randomly shaped and sized beading on the floor. The different beads are used to reflect the dirt that the person is sweeping up and to emphasis the contrast between the mundanity of life and drag.
