| Belleza Progress to Date |
I'm plugging away at Belleza, trying to get as much of her finished as possible by Halloween. Three main areas remain--her face tattoos, her hand mirror and her necklace. I'm working on the necklace now. It is a mix of threads, beads and crystals. Once it is stitched, then I have a final touch that I hope will help the pendant of the necklace POP! off the background of her black tunic.

There is more bling to come, too.
Stay tuned....
P.S. Someone has stitched the twin to Belleza with a navy background instead of the green that is painted behind her.

This is looking better and better as you progress!
Wow! You are making a lot of progress! She is indeed sparkly!
Thanks for the nice compliments, ladies. Hopefully I'll get her necklace finished this weekend (maybe).
Love the subtle sparkle in the background stitch. Care to share what stitch that is?
Which background? The purple background or the black tunic stitch?
The purple one.
The purple background is a Marnie Ritter stitch done so that the background painted area shows through. The sparkle you see is from tiny round silver beads that go in the empty spaces between each stitch unit. It's hard to get a good photo of the background but I'll post my best one for you to see.
