Done as an experiment many years ago, using size 11 seed beads and working them one at a time on canvas
as though I was doing cross stitch. 1986?
I had way too much time on my hands back then!
Oops, these aren’t beads, but it is one of my favourite cross stitch pieces.
Would look nice in beads though, wouldn’t it?
Pattern from a very old cross stitch magazine,
carried around in my pocket for several years before attempting it.
