Vienna Ball in all her glory :)

I'll try to take some better pics later, but here is a first photo of Vienna Ball completely finished. Its slightly out of focus but you can ceertainly see the beads.  Feel free to make the pic larger to look closer, but I do warn it is slightly out of focus ...

Even with the lack of focus, you can see the bead placement. I bet she sparkles like crazy.

Huge huge congratulations to you Miss Gothy!!!!!

I can't wait to see her in real life - she's gorgeous! Love the chandelier!

Mel, it's just beautiful. Wonderful work.

I sat down after work tonight to start a new project. I checked the pattern, pulled fabric, Stephen even helped choose a fabric, cut the fabric and then I went to pull skeins of DMC.

The three main skeins I needed to start the project are not in my stash. My kingdom for three skeins of DMC :)

I'm not going to bother Janine with such a small order, so I'll try to stop by one of the chain stores nearish work after work hours tomorrow :) :)

Now - do I start yet another project, or work on a WIP for the rest of tonight?

Melissa Hicks said...

I will DEFINITELY bring her to the next get-together, whenever that will be. Need to find the secret framing person everyone here uses too :)

Paula Hubert said...

She's gorgeous - and sooo sparkly! Congrats!

Did you start something else? I think I would have!

Beautiful finish, Mel! I especially love the beadwork on that chandelier!

Stephanie Flynn said...

Lovely finish Mel, the beads truly make this a stunning work.

Karen R said...

WooHoo!!! Wow, that is really neat!! Another one that just didn't appeal to me from the preview pics - I can only imagine how sparkly it is in person! Well done!

Julie Dollery said...

Can't wait to see her when you're less than a three hour flight away. Congrats. So, what ended up next?

Kimberly Fawn said...

Absolutely, fabulously gorgeous!

Nancy Murdock said...

Love the chandelier and the blue flowers!Congrats on a true finish!

To be perfectly honest, I ended up doing domestic duties the rest of the night while watching the 20-20 cricket match ....

Tonight however is another matter! Depends if I acquire those missing skeins, afterall I will home without electricity early tomorrow morning, what else can I do then but stitch ?????

Great work and cant wait to see what you are doing next

Melissa Hicks said...

I managed to acquire those pesky skeins last night and am already 1/4 way through a new small piece. No pics yet though. I have a long week ahead, working every day from 8:30 until after 5pm (tonight its 7pm) so I'm not sure how much stitching will occur for the rest of the week. Oh well, it all helps to pay back those debts, every little bit helps.
