The final one

The fourth and final one in my se of four is complete. Gold threads, white crystal rounds and gold bugle beads.

Gold

The last one in the set is gold on red.

#3 in Silver

This one is done. I made changes so it is symmetrical.

changed the chart

Started another silver one and I changed the chart to balance the design as Pat Warner Sorci thought it was off. It seems to work.

Number two

The silver one is finished.

So close

I finished the oval Jessicas and all of the backstitching on the silver one....will add the beads tomorrow.

Another one

I am going to do a series of these in different colorways. The first was white and this one in silver.

Finished!

I added the backstitching and then all the beads. Another one in the finishing pile!

Lots more

I finished all of these and had about 6 inches of thread left on the spool. Whew!

Ice Crystals

Started Ice Crystals by Catherine Coleman today.

Day 13-The Finish

I finished adding all the beads today! One is a photo of the entire design which is a six inch square. The other is a closeup so you can see the beads and the shiny Kreinik. This is Freda's Fancies, Subtlety in Blue, with colors changed to the black and grays.

Day Twelve

I finished outlining with the black Kreinik and have started adding the beads.

Day Eleven

I have finished all the Walnettos in the corners and have started adding backstitches in Kreinik around the squares.

Day Ten

The woven triangles are done as are two of the four Walnetto stitches in the corners.

Day Nine

All of the gray inner rice stitches are done that create the squares in the corners. Then I stitched long lines of Kreinik in the triangles and am weaving black over the top of those.

Day Eight

I finished the rest of the gray inner border and added two quadrants on the left side.

Day Seven

I finished the oustide border of rice stitches in black and am now working on the inner border of the same stitch in gray.

Day Six

A lot more rice stitches to create the outside border.

Day Five

I added another line of gray border and then started more rice stitches for the outside of the design.

Day Four

I finished the gray satin stitch border and then completed a round of Rhodes diamonds.
