:D You say that Rose, the sparklies are actually quite rough to stitch with after a while. The DMC feels positively babysoft after a Kreinik session!

Bless you tb!! I was beginning to think she was getting a bit TOO bling, if there could be such a thing, but then I made a start on her body which is regular DMC. I was concerned then that the shade of flesh was way too dark, but I have faith in Ms Corbett and will persevere because I am hoping it's shading and all will come good as the rest of her body is filled in.

As before, the gaps in the stitching will be filled by beads.

Kathryn, why wouldn't you? The stitching's not difficult, there is no confetti, barely any backstitch and literally one or two fractional stitches - that's why I have been able to whizz through her so quickly! Admittedly beading is a little tricky first time, but it's not rocket science, anyone can do it.
You should think about giving one a try. :D
