I wondered where she went. You are so close to the finish now. I think if you want to name her go ahead and name her. She is yours after all.
Angelica was the name of the pirate girl in the last Pirates of the Carribean movie. That sounds a little bit French to me and kind of funny for a lady pirate. Great update. The beads really make her sparkle.

Oh, she's coming along beautifully.

Wikipedia has a listing of all the real life female pirates as well as a bunch of them from fiction. That might be worth perusing for name ideas.

I'll need to have a look! Thanks for letting me know.

Thanks. I love adding embellishments to my projects. I think it makes them more unique and personalized. Plus the beads started because I can't do French knots :lol:

:lol:

:lol:

Thank you everyone! Glad you like her.

Thanks Everyone!

Glad you like her. I'm heading back to the market on Sunday again to see if I can get a frame for her. This time I'll take a tape measure.
