Yeah, the last bead has been placed on Mermaids of the Deep Blue by Mirabilia! I picked this project up exactly 2 months ago as a SAL with Juls and I must say I could not be happier with the final product! A question on beading: do you use a half stitch or whole to secure the bead?
Unfortunately I do not know the name of this fabric (it may be Dawn?), but I can tell you it is a 32ct overdyed linen.
This is a present for The Crone, Gentle Arts thread on 36ct Days Gone By one over one. By far the hardest project I have encountered to date (I have even abandoned the notion of stitching this twice, one for me) I am so ecstatic this is complete!
Mark 2 off my WIPocalypse list! Whoo hoo! The Maiden

Congrats!!!! They are both stunning and I know the Crone will love love it!!!! I love that we have one SAL done...onto to the next one ....
ReplyDeleteWow. Gorgeous
ReplyDeleteGrats on the finishes. I especially like your mermaids. They're gorgeous. And when I bead, I like to use a full stitch. If you, um, railroad the bead (place the bead between the two strands of floss) you can make sure they all tilt the same way. I think it looks nicer that way. JMO, lol.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the finish. They are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI usually use a half-stitch for beads.
Real nice finish, you've done a lot! They are gorgeous!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteWow, congrats on both finishes! I usually use cross stitches to secure beads, but I think it depends on the type of beads and their placement on a chart.
