TAST 2012 WEEK 27 BONNET STITCH !

Hello all you lovely people,I am very early this week with my TAST stitch ! I am away for two weeks from the week end so have rushed to get this mandala finished , as I have so much packing to do !





I have used a 'cotton lawn' ground fabric, which I have water coloured.........And it turned out beautifully !!
The only thread that I have used on this is Coton-a-broder 16.......I love this thread for texture !!!
Alas, I have made mistakes on this one.........the spacing of my stitches is way off in places.....probably because I was rushing it !! So please forgive any 'imperfections' !!!!!!!!! 
Pearls and tiny crystal beads complete my Mandala................I love my stitching so much........I HOPE IT SHOWS................. I will try and post again before my holiday..... Have a good week dear friends and thank you so much for all your comments !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Bonnet lace! Wonderful!
    Is it telepathy? I, too, have been contemplating using the stitch for a lacy look to go with last week's Palestrina stitch leaf. Both are part of the folk costume hat.
    Anyway, your lace is so delicate and the added pearls and crystals add a lot of sparkle. Love it.
    Have a nice holiday!

    Christina a wonderful mandala as usual, does not look like you rushed it to me, interested about water colouring the fabric, does this mean you just painted water paints on? it looks beautiful.You always come up with a wonderful piece and this time so quickly, thanks for sharing it with us all.The added pearls and tiny crystals finnish it off perfectly

    Have a wonderful holiday, wonder if you will have any time to stitch? Fingers crossed the weather improves, at least it can`t get much worse.
