For this Work In Progress Wednesday report, on the
Mandala
all the cups have been attached. I have also backstitched the undulating line of Chain Stitch with a metallic thread.

There is another shape filled with #168 Croatian Stitch. Compare the difference in the lacing with the version on the left.
I also tried to make a bow with #11 Knotted Satin Stitch, but I am not impressed with the result. The Perle thread is a bit too slippery for the 'knots', which are hidden underneath the Satin Stitch, to sit still. The result is it looks like a sloppy bow... I think I will unstitch it and either try with a different thread or a different shape, or both!

The mandala looks great. It’s nice to see the whole thing!
Maybe a matte thread for the bow?
The mandala is coming along nicely. How do you plan to alter the snake's head? Satin is too difficult for me to get right. I just don't do it.
"Altering snake heads!" part of an embroidery artist's skills!
