Embroidered Collage

I had forgotten how much longer bead embroidery could take than regular stitching since with each stitch I had to scoop up a few beads.  I positioned the smaller disks first and then added the swirls of size 8 seed beads.  When I envisioned this piece I had honestly expected to do more beading, but I think I'll stop for now and see what happens when I add some normal embroidery on to the surface.
