This is a marvelous piece, and I'll bet they're going to be darned glad to get it at the show.
I love its designerly qualities, not to mention that your hands don't have leprosy, unlike someone else's I could mention ...
I feel a bit dimwitted, but where on the piece are the beads used? Using the window screen to give a halftone shading effect is very clever. It's making me wonder what other materials might be suitable for that.
My hands are not nearly nice enough looking to use so I had a friend draw his for me. He did a wonderful job on them too.
The beads WILL BE at the top of the keys on the horn. Just 6 bugle beads but I took the pic and wrote the description before I added them.
Other than the screening, which comes in black and grey, try tulle, nylon petticoat netting, sheers, or painted or dyed cheesecloth. All fun effects for shading and shadows.
