Bits and bobs of fire goddess and pearls….

I need to do more beading:
mer

But she is progressing

Fire Goddess feels relatively fast compared to Pearls

The backstitch really does make a difference…

My experiment… the design

I decided to chart out my version of:
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.
It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
(Corinthians 13:4-8)

It has ended up being 120 by about 320 count, which is problematic as I for some reason started stitching about 7 inches down from the top of the fabric. If I had started the normal 3 inches down it would fit… so the question is, do I frog and hope that I have enough of this floss, or just start again? I do like this colour combination though… decisions, decisions.

Anyway, the design so far – I have to add the last line in, replace the band of the rings as I have decided even though I like interlinked rings it doesn’t really fit overall.. I might change the font in one section but other than that I am happy with what I have charted so far – there are blanks but they can be filled in pretty easily…

Does anyone think this would be a chart I should share when I finalise it all?
