Beaded Dragonfly Tile - finish!

It's hard to believe, but it's done! I started this project over five years ago, when it was still a new release. It spent most of its time chilling in the WIP basket while I worked on other, easier projects, but now it's finished.

I kind of don't know what to do with myself now. I thought about going back to Mushroom & Fern right away, but I think I'm a bit Chatelaine-d out for the moment. Probably going to start something new and relatively easy to give myself a little break before getting back to it. :p

Anyway, here's the beaded beauty!


And some close-up pictures.
This is the part where you pretend not to see all the cat hair. :p

 
 


It's stitched pretty much as charted, with a few small changes to backstitch colors for the buds, and I left off the white beads at the base of the tall grass because I like it without them. Oh, and because I stitched on black, I used the variegated silk that was used for the inner border of rhodes stitches in place of the black outer border.
