Description Mirabilia's "Crystal Symphony" stitched 2x2 on 32 count linen. Finished Oct 1 2012. What a beast to create. The dress is saturated with bead work, and the finished piece gained serious wieght with all the beading. But the bead work does add a richness that stitching alone wouldn't have acheived.

Truthfully this one was a tad disappointing. I expected it to be black and white, which is vintage elegant, like 'My Fair Lady', but instead it was blue and I wasn't too fond of the blue hue. Live and learn, sample pictures are not always true to an actual finished result.

Thanks. This one took me 10 months, 4 of which were intense, where all I seemed to do was cross stitch and bead. Thanks again.

Wow. And you're welcome! I do a bit of needlework myself, but not like this...I tend to pick up cross stitch and embroidery projects for a little while, but I get sidetracked with school and my sewing projects and end up putting away the needlework for a while.
