Default Big finish!

I have finally finished Chatelaine's Pompeji Mandala. It took over a
week just to bead the thing, and boy was I glad I used 28 ct. fabric!
And I'm glad a size 28 tapestry needle works for the Delicas, or my
poor fingers would have been hamburger.
In case anyone wants to see it, it's at www.flickr.com under bmciowa.
It's the only thing there.
I have another Chatelaine ready to go, just have to cut the fabric,
but I think I'll do some smaller, lighter stuff first.

At first glance I thought that the top, bottom, left and right sides were
exact mirror images of each other until I noticed that the birds on the bird
baths were different colors.
Gorgeous piece of needlework.
