Look! My first finish for 2010 ;
Image
I'm delighted with the way it's stitched up, it was a real dream to do. The blackberries are such fun with the iridescent beads and the satin threads worked out in the end.

Not sure what I am going to do with it yet. Probably add to the pile of unframed finishes for a point in the future.

The beads on the berries look great. I've never worked with beads myself.

Congrats on the finish!

Hi All,

Thank you for your kind comments about the Mice!

I've managed to finish the O on the name plate,

Image

meaning I've done the first part of it now,

These letters are fun to stitch, such lovely bright colours and some clever shading too!
