and I was intrigued by a designer that she loves....... Chatelaine!!!!
When I saw her video about chatelaine's finishes I decided to search more about this charts because they look very dificult but very very beautiful. I found that you have to make "special stitches and stitch beads. My first feeling was that I want to do one Chatelaine but I don't know if I could, I've never stitched beads or work on linen or fabric counts like 28 or 32.
After some days of thinking I decided to give me a chance to prove myself with something new
I love three mandalas I will buy them slowly because they are expensive I don't know if I want to try stitching with silk or replace it with traditional DMC. I want to try the beads I think they look amazing, but I will buy my supplies a little every month hoping to start one in 2015.

ResponderEliminarI've got Japanese Garden, and one day I hope to get Japanese Zen Garden, Chinese Garden and Polar... they're gorgeous, and I tend to save up and buy the full kit rather than kitting myself... but I haven't plucked up the courage to start yet, I'm a bit intimidated by them!
ResponderEliminarChatelaines are beautiful, aren't they! Have you considered trying one of her freebies? That would give you a taste of her patterns without a lot of initial outlay of time and money. Her Christmas Tree mandala worked up beautifully! I'll be cheering you on when you start!
