My Tree of Love project is coming alive, little by little. In the previous post I showed you guys the materials and some of the first steps I took.
For those of you who missed part 1 of this project, here it is:

So... we are at this stage now: I drew the bodies and some tree branches:
I gathered all type of beads I had in my supply boxes, leftovers from other projects, plus an old bead curtain. As you guys now, I am all about recycling, re-purposing and re-using. I started to glue those beads on my canvas, using my imagination. No pattern, as usual. I am a free-style artist.
I use hot glue for the large beads and regular school glue for the small ones. I prefer the clear glue. I glue small portions at a time, and let it dry. Anyways... I am not in a rush. This canvas art is a very soothing activity, and I like to take my time.
I am finishing this post with the man’s hair. I am almost done with the beads. I have a handful of small beads left, I will fill some empty spots very soon, now time to dry.
PS: I keep my work-in-progress hanging on my living room wall... so my friends and family always make comments. Everyone has an opinion and I laugh 😆 😂 😆 .... because I don’t have any opinion and any idea about the outcome!!!! It is a matter of inspiration. I got the theme... the rest is whatever comes out. I know it’s gonna be awesome, because it is about love, and love is wonderful. 🥰
Very creative idea and a nice way to use extra random beads you have laying around.

When you say original, it sure is, when working on design growing in detail as the mood takes you @starjewel
Nice way to use excess beads around the home, I must mention this to my sister who is the arty one in our family.

Thanks. I feel that I will finish this one faster, I am almost done. Love is a wonderful theme. My inspiration for this piece is the love connection I see between my daughter and her fiancée. I want to give it to them as a Christmas gift, so I better finish it. 🥴
