First Mistake tapestry

Crafted from over 21,000 tiny glass beads, “First Mistake” is a vibrant window display designed to transform sunlight into a dazzling array of colour and texture. Measuring 7.2 by 10.9 inches (18.4 by 27.8 cm), the piece features a spirited, retro lady with flowing red hair, oversized sunglasses, and a peace symbol. Set against a deep blue, star-studded background, the artwork’s playful details and bold palette evoke a sense of nostalgia and individuality.

“Assuming I’m Just An Old Lady Was Your First Mistake,”  challenges stereotypes about age with wit and confidence. The combination of meticulous craftsmanship and cheeky messaging makes it a statement of empowerment—perfect for any space where sunlight can illuminate its colours and its message.
