No they are not beads. I have never worked with beads on cross stitch before but at this point I kind of wish they were. It is one strand of pearl filament with two strands of white and it is a major pain to work with. I also have gold filament that is in there too which is on the clock tower I just finished last night. Not so sure if you can see it in the pic. Tinkerbell is all I really have left to finish and Im shooting to have it finished hopefully tomorrow. I havent had much time to work on it since fall quarter started a couple days ago and I already have assignments due.

:applesauce: it looks very good. You have done a really good job. And even though working with the filament is a little tricky I love the effect it has. I am lookfing forward to seeing Tinkerbell when you get a chance to stitch again. Time gets really crunched when school starts.

Thanks everyone. I figured I would just use a link to post the picture because I seem to always have problems trying to actually post the picture.

Rose I recently just discovered when I was at HobbyLobby that this Tinkerbell is actually half of a picture. Here is a photo of the full version
