Description from Artful Chick aka Siobhan: Elizabeth I is probably one of the most celebrated monarchs in British history. I make beaded portrait handbags, and this pick shows some of the colors I used in my Elizabeth Rainbow portrait project. In the original painting she was lavishly adorned with pearls (her favorite) and precious stones. On her sleeve were eyes and ears to represent that she saw and heard all. On her crown was a crescent moon, and on her gown there were many other symbols used to represent her as a goddess. This pick could make an awesome woven bracelet.

Artful Chick aka Siobhan says:Yep, the profile photo is one of my girls. She is Maria d’Medici, eldest daughter of Archduke Cosimo d’Medici and of Eleanora de Toledo, a Spanish princess. Maria was done in size 15 Delica beads. She is my favorite. The second photo is a prelim on the Elizabeth portrait. The last is of Eleanora de Toledo. She was published in Bead & Button.
