:applesauce: WOW. This is an amazing piece. You have done an incredible job of stitching. :applesauce: Can't wait to see the full picture. Is there a lot of beading to be done?

Mmmmm - by Chatelaine standards I would say no - but there are a little over 1500 beads to attach and 56 crystals. For comparison purposes, Butterfly Lace has 3300+ beads and 41 crystals, so CGM is my practice in preparation for that marathon :shock: !

Sounds like an awful lot to me. Knowing me, I would stop after the stitching, so its a good thing that I love watching these progress. You will have had more than enough practice when you are finished with this one.

All stitching is now complete :mexicanwave: :

I've now signed up for Sleeping Beauty's Castle Anniversary Mandala and I will be signing up to the Firelily Garden Mandala tomorrow after Martina's Chatelaine Raffle announcement.

Think I will have a little break before I tackle the beading - my QSs need my attention!

Wow, it's just incredible :wub:

How do you tackle the beads? Do you hold the fabric in hand rather than in a frame?
