By the Seaside Bauble Ornament Pattern Bead Pattern

There is something so special about the British sea side, here Lynsey has captured just some of the elements that you can find at so many of the seaside’s along the coast. Scenes you can discover around the bauble is a striped lighthouse on a rocky patch of the beach giving warning to the boat sailing nearby. A girl with a kite, children playing catch with a beach ball, a sand castle, ice cream seller giving out ice creams, a row of beach huts, deckchair and umbrella. This is all set against a sunny beach scene with the ever present sea gulls swirling around. The fire polished aquamarine beaded fringe-work along the base of the ornament is an extension of the sea with little beaded ships stitched onto the fringes at random intervals so they appear to be sailing in the ocean.
