Starting Venue

Venus is started and so far it is all Silk Lame Braid.

Mercury

Mercury is done! I had some extra time so I got this one finished.

Half

Mercury is more than half done. Today's photo doesn't accurately reflect that this is all shades of silver.

More Mercury

Mercury is four different 14 count beads and two shades of Kreinik.

Next up: Mercury. I did not get my usual amount of stitching time today, but it is started.

And done!

The sun is finished!

Almost

The sun is almost done

It still looks like

I did 8 more rows on the right side today but it stil looks like a pie.

The left side

The left side of the sun is finished!

Rounding it

Today's stitching is showing the left curve in the sun, almost to the bottom on this side.

More beads

I am continuing down the left side and put in 7 more rows of beads. I am working half at a time as the chart is printed on two pages and it is earier to work down one side versus flipping the chart over

On the left

I worked 7 rows down the left side and that is half of that side.

Taking shape

I did a lot more beads and it is starting to look like a sun.

Not much

Too many other things to do today so very little progress. I almost didn't bother to post it but a few is better than none.

Adding beads

I finished the top third with the Radiance in two colors and have started adding the five different colors of beads.

Starting in

This piece is called Wonders of the Solar System that is a Climbing Goat Designs. It is a counted canvas design that is supposed to be worked with floss. I have converted all those threads to shiny threads and beads. I have started the sun with two shades of Radiance and also one shade of beads so far.

Whew!

I have a counted chart to work on a 16 x 18 canvas and I have converted all of the floss to these threads and beads.

Done!
