Chinese Stitch

The outside area is worked in a sing strand of Lacquered Jewls in the Chinese stitch.  After frogging a bit on the left side where I had miscounted, I resumed working the stitch along the bottom and up into the center where the fan blades will also be.

From yesterday:  This will be framed and hung in my home--it is actually for me!  Second, yes the beads are quite the illusion, and they are all "seated" in the holes of the Alicia Lace stitch, both the black and the white.
