Side bars

I have started the two side bars that will match.  A series of Jessicas are worked by alternating Kreinik and Elegance.  One down, one to go.  There are multiple steps to each bar and I will work them simultaneously.

Center Panel

 Long laid stitches are worked in Kreinik overlaid with Splendor to couch them down.  Upright crosses are worked on top of the laid stitches.  Next five Jessicas in Elegance and Kreinik are worked and then a Diamond Jessica is worked on top of those. Last, two rows of tent stitches are worked around the Jessicas.

The overall progress so far!

Mistake Stitches

This box has 2 different variations of Mistake stitches worked with Rainbow Gallery and Kreiniks.  Jessicas are added around the Mistake stitches and then partial Crescents.  Beads were added last.  Many layers of interest in the piece!

Happy 4th!

A safe and Happy Holiday to all! 

 Great friends, family, and fireworks!

Another box

This box has Amadeus stitches covered with a strand of Kreinik and then some beads in the center.
Teardrops create the middle shapes and are also surrounded by beads.

The ends are done.

 First, the overall view with both ends completed.  The center bands of Kreinik gold are also done.

 

Partial Sprat's Heads were worked in each corner of the ends to complete them and Sundance beads are on the ends of the Wheat stitches.

The ends

Each end of the frame weight has Jessicas and some wheat stitches.  The white ones are worked first and then the Kreinik one is put on top of those two.  The wheat stitches are also worked with Kreinik.
