I've been steadily working on Midnight Meander, getting a little bit done every session. I try to set a goal for each session so it feels like a finish every time.

So far, my favorite part is the beading. Still don't like working with the satin and light effects thread, but I'm learning to live with them for now. A needle with a bigger eye helps a lot!
An overview of the piece so far. The next flower to start is the one in the upper right corner. I'm looking at the instructions and it seems like more of the same techniques, just a different configuration. I can't wait to stitch that leaf though, there is lots of beading there.

It's looking really gorgeous. Sometimes we have to put up with tricksy threads because they create lovely effects!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful piece. I like the bit in the slideshow where the three "bubbles" appear one after the other!
ReplyDeleteThat flower is gorgeous! I'm always impressed with how neat and regularly your stitches are.
