I know you don't like this but it is really looking lovely. You're doing a great job.

so beautiful Rose, well done with the beads

Oh the ladies are so beautiful. All the beads just give it the special something and make it even more wonderful! I'm glad that you go on with this even if you consider these lovely ladies evil for all the nasty beads. Go on beat the beads

It really is looking gorgeous. You're doing a fabulous job even if it's a pain to do

Looks great ... the bead do look like alot of work but make it look stunning.. I have not attempted bead work yet .... I will have to remember to pick a small project If do attempt it

Rose - as others have stated, this project looks amazing.

I have been contemplating this past week about whether or not I want to start this project. It would be a wedding gift for a friend (I found out last week that she and her fiance like mermaids). Not sure though.

Keep up the progress - each bead brings you closer to the end.

Your ladies are stunning Rose Isn't it funny how we all have our likes and dislikes in stitching, you hate beading where I love it but hate blended colours and backstitch

After this I don't think you'll ever want to see a bead or mettallic again I am loving the 3D detail though.. it's looking stunning!

Rose, I am so sorry you are not enjoying it because it is wonderful! Hope you can get it over with soon and then find joy in it

I finally just bit the bullet and sat down and finished this. I spent the last 5 days working through all the beads and metallics. Thank God they are done. I can get them out of here. Not even sure if I will spend the time tp wash them. I really dislike them that much.

Finished

Congratulations !!!! They look absolutely stunning, great work !

Wonderful finish, Rose!! I can understand the feeling about just wanting to finish it to get it over and done with. I enjoy stitching, but finishing some projects can be tedious.

Congratualtions. It is absolutely stunning. And since I too am a "bead despiser" I truly admire your fortitude. It turned out lovely.



Have one on me.

Absolutely stunning!

Beautiful, such amazing work

I bet you're glad its going to your friend so you won't have to lay eyes on it again!

Rose - congrats on your finish! They really are gorgeous and you've done a wonderful job stitching them. I have them in my stash and now I want to start them after seeing yours, lol...

Oh my, you did it!!! All the beads are done
Rose, this looks amazing!

Yay! It's all done.. now you can put it behind you. You did an amazing job, even more so since you detested the last bits.

Yaaay it is all done . this is definitely motivation if you can do all those beads I can finish up my bluebell. Maybe for punishment of having you finish off this project you can have your friend wash and frame it muwahaha.... sound good, or is that just horrible?!?!

Congrats on finishing it! It really is gorgeous! I can't blame you for detesting all of that beading and metallic work. Well done to you for managing to get thru it all!! It has turned out fabulously
