"I really enjoyed stitching this piece, eventhough it's huge!!  Once I started it I just couldn't put it down.

In real life it's very sparkly, it has thousands of beads and a lot of metallic thread,  which was absolutely hideous to stitch since it was very stiff. But the final result is worth it.

When I first started doing it, I had decided not to leave the beads to the end, instead I was going to put them as I  progressed....BUT.... they didn't arrive in time, so I had no other choice than to put them all at the end....BORING!!...I spent 5 long afternoons working on them about 36 hrs. So if you decide to stitch this piece try not to do what I did".
