Oh Mabel! Thank you so much! I love the pendants. They are beautiful, so I clicked on your link and found your lovely designs to download.
Furthermore, they are easy to print off.
The Jewelled Cross will be perfect for a friend, as he celebrates 40 years as a "reader" in his church, in October. :D

A few more experiments first up is another bauble, this time with perle #5 for the heavy chain stitch, and colour-matching thread for attaching the fabric. It still has a few issues, which I'll be writing a FoF about soon.

And my fourth Tree of Life leaf; this one uses Mountmellick stitch in two colours, whipped backstitch (I do like the cord-like look that produces) and bullion knots (which DH can't help pronouncing as "bouillon knots" - I tell him to think gold rather than soup :-) )

Very nice!

You should have a go at a series of Paisley pickles (or have you already... can't remember -- you have done so many lovely designs). :lol:

The Tree was inspired by an Indian design so you're not far off with the Paisley. As it is I think I'll keep them as part of the tree, offering variants for most of the leaves.

The difficulty is going to be deciding which ones to use in the final tree :shock:

I'd have to redesign the tree to accommodate them all, and if I did they couldn't be the shape they are now!
