I've been working on the Thread & Eye Mandala SAL for the past 3 days. This design solidifies why I love geometric patterns. As I slowly add each new colour and shape to the project, it's as if I have a whole new piece in front of me. (I'm not exactly a pink person, but the darkest shade is a wonderfully rich berry colour and it is stunning.)
I keep thinking that I should stop and just leave it as is because it's beautiful.
I must add in a pic that showcases how small stitching over 1 on 25 ct really is:
Couldn't you imagine this design as an ornament? Picture it in icy blues, whites, and silvers .. what a snowflake it would make!!
Each element adds something exciting ... I love watching as the design unfolds. This project in particular is exciting because I chose my own colorway, and since I'm not the most visual person, I can't picture in my head the way the colours will come together in the design, so it's a constant surprise for me. A delight to stitch!
Then I add the next part and it's even more perfect then before.
This is beautiful! The colours look really great together. Geometric patterns make great cross stitches. 25count over 1, wow! The smallest I have done is 18count.Can't wait to see this when it is finished, you've done a wonderful job :-)
