Thanks Guys  :)

It is a real pity that cameras will not show the glistening effect of the piece. The camera cannot capture it due to us having two eyes and the light doesn't get necessarily reflected back to both at the same brightness so we perceive it as glistening. 

This gives you a better idea of the number of beads on the piece



Yes all those little mauve spots is another 1.6mm diameter bead  :facepalm: each with two stitches through them using a 0.3mm diameter needle.

Wow - that is quite something Jo, that wasn’t a ‘five minute job’, the attention to detail is wonderful, you can be very proud of that
