TAST 2012 WEEK 29 BASQUE STITCH !

Hello folks, this is your second dose of me this week as I am catching up after my lovely holiday !
The Basque stitch is another beautifully ornate stitch....That can also be manipulated in many ways.......A great stitch to experiment with ! This is my slightly hurried mandala this week, that I am not overly happy 




with !!! The usual Perle threads and beads !! I will experiment further with this stitch...............
.
Another  couple of holiday snaps, to brighten your day............Have a great weekend.............xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  3. How can you be anything but satisfied and proud of such a stunning creation?! You are making it more and more difficult for me to pick a favourite! I love the colour combination. Another of your WOW Mandalas!

  4. I feel that this is a different colour choice this time and very lovely, the beading is pretty. Have you used the pink five pointed ones before because I find them particularly attractive used in this way. Your usual high standard to me and thanks for sharing a couple of holiday pictures with their good weather. xx
