A gorgeous finish :applesauce: :applesauce: looking forward to seeing it framed. Peacocks are such regal looking and beautiful birds. We saw a group of white peacocks at a Botanical Garden in Madeira in 2009,they were lovely too, but I like their coloured relatives much more.

When I get it framed I'll probably choose two different coloured mounts, one on top of the other. It creates a sort of outline, but the reason I want to do it for this project is to give a bit more depth between the beads and the glass.

This is another project waiting in my "to do" pile that shows what I mean

Oh my.. this is lovely. And this was a free pattern?? wow
I think it looks great without the additional knots.

And.. the name of the Christmas hardanger pattern please.. whenever you get around to that one.. I will certainly pull up the magic bench and watch that one progress. It is absolutely beautiful.
