Mirabilia Christmas Flourishes finished at last

I started this many years ago, pre 2004 at least, and abandoned it at this stage for a number of years. 

Then I added it to my rotation, and with a final push over the Christmas holidays and a wait while some beads arrived that I ran out of, I am pleased with the finished result. The fabric is actually a lot bluer, like the first shot and not as grey as the different camera has made the later pictures. I must find a framer and not just leave it for years and years like I usually do.
