:dance: :dance: :dance: Doing the happy dance here--she's finished--I opted to not do the beads on the border as I really don't think it needs it
Here is how she looks now, just needs pressing and framing

Image


And a close up of some of the beading and metallics--the beads are black, red and crystal in petite size--the red ones for some reason look gold?

I loved stitching her up and now can't wait to see Sleeping Beauty!!

Thanks for all of the wonderful replies and encouragement :D
