Mini Mandala Mistery 3

My next chatelaine is Mini Mandala Mistery 3

I choose to stitch on a piece of white linen 28ct

I choose all the supplies to options more affordable for me, not only because the money also the easiest way to find them here in my country, so in the case for varigated silk thread I chose the closest varigated DMC 

All the delicas and treasures I converted to Mill Hills

This is are the firsts stitches

Happy stitching!!  =D

My first Chatelaine!!

Hello!!

Today I share with all of you a very special step on my stitching life.

I started and finished my first Chatelaine! Of course This is a very small project but I wanted to start with something smaller before choose a big mandala.

This is a freebie design that Martina (Chatelaine's designer) gave us for christmas 2014.

I stitched on linen 28ct. 2 over 1
I used Dmc metallics and I change the color of the Delica beads because I wanted to use what I already had in my stash.

I totally in loved with this designs, I have in mind to stitch 2 more freebies, then a mini mandala and then I will start with big mandalas.

Happy stitching!!!

Chatelaine Designs!

Last month watching videos on youtube I found a nice girl her nickname is MrsMilkybarKid

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.
