I started these back in March of 2006, so it has been a year and a half project for me. I am actually giving this as a gift to one of my best girlfriends in the whole world. I cannot wait to give it to her now! When I first saw this chart, I knew that she had to have it. :D
Mirabilia: Mermaids of the Deep Blue
March 2006 to October 2007
32 ct. Zweigart Amsterdam Blue Linen
Used all recommended threads, beads and charms.
Here are some closeup shots just for the heck of it. If any of you decide to stitch this, just be aware there are so many beads :) The stitching isn't bad at all. I did enjoy them, once I learned to use clear thread for the beading.
Okay everyone, I am a tired girl... so it's time for bed! I can relax as one more big WIP is crossed off of my list *bliss* oh yeah!

Absolutely lovely! Kudos to not giving up on the endless beads, LOL! (I'm not that excited about putting beads on things. *g*)
Wow! This is stunning! It must have taken ages to put all those beads on. Congratulations on such a beautiful finish.
I cant wait for the day that i actually finish one of my big projects...it seems a long way off though!

The mermaids are beautiful! Does your friend know that you are giving this to her or is it a surprise?
Wow, this is so pretty. I bet you spent a lot of hours stitching this.
Wow, that is simply stunning. I never thought of using clear thread for the beads. From now on, that is what I will use. Congratulations and a happy dance for your finished piece.

Wow, you do really beautiful work! I am stitching this for my best friend who loves (loves, loves) mermaids. But I'm really intimidated by all the beads! What did you do with the fabric when you got to the beading? I'm stitching on a scroll frame, but I won't be able to roll up the parts that are already beaded because they'll stretch out the fabric.
WOW this is so wonderful. I'm thinking of doing it too. I'm a bit worried about beading though
