Progress so far:
I can never resist an angled shot of beads:
This outer border will be slow going!
I'm trying to reach the very outer corner so I can switch between the flowers and border if I start to get frustrated with one or the other.
Still need to figure out what to do about long rows of beads not fitting. Columns are fine as the beads aren't as tall as they are wide. I thought about turning them on their sides but I think I'll end up removing 2 or 4 beads per long row. It's so sad, they allllmost fit! I bet just 2 would be enough for them to settle down nicely.
Looking so pretty x
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing! Very beautiful. I haven't used beads in cross-stitch, so not sure what solution to suggest/appreciate. Good luck though. Looking forward to seeing more done on this piece.
ReplyDeleteA lot of work but it looks amazing :D
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI think removing a bead or two is probably the best solution. Remember, you will be looking at it up on the wall, not close to your face.
Stunning work!! I guess I would leave a bead or two out as well to make it fit. The colours are gorgeous on this project.

This is amazing! I love turquoise on black. I think I'd go for the leave a couple of beads out option, turning them on the side might look odd.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy an angled bead photo too!
May be frustrating with confetti stitches, but your work is absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe dragonflies are gorgeous! Love the angled photo of beads.
