This completely fabric-free masterpiece was hand-beaded in the United States and Mexico. It took twenty-one women over two years to complete. “Fantasy” was made with beads from United States, Japan, Austria, China, Czech Republic, and over 7 miles of beading wire.

Still in progress, and at over 38 pounds (17.2 kg) in weight, I hope the woman wearing this has some help carrying her train. Just saying.

About

I design video games for a living, write fiction, political theory and poetry for personal amusement, and train regularly in Western European 16th century swordwork. On frequent occasion I have been known to hunt for and explore abandoned graveyards, train tunnels and other interesting places wherever I may find them, but there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that I am preparing to set off a zombie apocalypse. Nothing that will stand up in court, at least. I use paranthesis with distressing frequency, have a deep passion for history, anthropology and sociological theory, and really, really, really hate mayonnaise. But I wash my hands after the writing. Promise.
