I don't know if you all remember, but I had a little problem with this project as I could not find the cabochons with rimsets that I needed to finish the project. Pat had sent me a few things that I thought could work (thank you Pat for those, I will keep them for later use), but after trying them, I realized that I would much rather do something else to replace the missing cabochons.
.
Once I put behind me the notion that I absolutely needed some cabochons for this project, I started concentrating on what else I could do instead and decided to do some Jessicas with some golden metallic thread and then filled the inside with some red metallic threads.
.
After I did that, I decided that I really did not want to put any bugle beads now, so used some gold metallic threads and made a bargello row instead.
.
I am happy with the outcome. It is different from the one Susan did, but still looks good.
.
All that remains now is to do the finishing. That will have to wait a little bit as I have other things to stitch first.
.
For the sake of comparison, I have added below a photo of what the original looks like.
I would like to finish stitching the little Christmas stocking, but not so crazy about the idea of working with all those beads though :-(
