Moving right along with this one--I was to start on the tribal santa hat for weekend project, but didn't like the fabric I had on hand for that one. So, I'm continuing on with this one and really loving working on her. Here is what it's looking like so far

and a couple of close ups of some of the detailing--beads and metallic braid

and close up of the beading and backstitching on the base of her skirt

Just beautiful! The metallics make such a difference. Hope they're not too bad to work with!

She is getting more and more beautiful with each update. Great work Karen and so fast too.

She's finished--with a few adaptations on the beading, as I was running out of them. I repositioned a few of the snowflakes, and left out about 4 of them, but for now I am happy with how it looks.
Here is a picture of it completed

and here is a close up of the detailing, backstitching, metallic thread and some of the beading

Thanks for all of the encouragement on this project and the wonderful comments---it really helps!!
