Desire: Moving along

Now, it is starting to look like Susan Portra's finished ornament. Still a bit more work to do like some couching to add on the long tramé stitches and the bugle beads and of course the hard to find 5 cabochons with rimsets.

-

Am still wondering about the finishing that has been done on it as to what it is exactly. I know that I can probably do it if I can only get a clear picture in my mind as to what it is. I will probably have to sleep on it but there is no rush before the ornament is all completed and for that I need to find those cabochons with rimsets or substitute them with some other stitches. If someone who is reading this entry have some ideas as to where I can find them, please let me know. I can be easily contacted at LovetoStitch99@comcast.net

I stitched two additional rows last evening, took a photo and then got distracted and never added to my blog.

-

So far on this project, I have used Fyre Werks on the first row (gold), Crystal Rays (the larger one with reddish colors), Fyre Werks in black for the second and fourth rows and Neon Rays for the last and fifth row (wine color).

-

This morning have added a sixth row using some DMC Perle #5 in red (not in the photo).

-

Should be able to finish it today, except for the cabochons with rimsets which I don't have and will see if I can find some gold bugle beads all the same size. I think I may have some but have not yet looked for them.

-

I have been looking at the finishing on the photo and been wondering how exactly it was done. There seems to be some gold thread laced somehow. It looks very good, just not sure how it has been done as I can't see enough of it :-(
