Working on Alison Cole's Tree of Life. Every element was difficult; even those that I thought I knew how to do. I was most worried about the grapes - kid leather wrapped pebble beads, as the instruction indicated that I should do the middle ones first such that the mistakes would be covered by the adjacent grapes. I was very surprised that the grapes were not that difficult; and I enjoyed stitching them! Now working on the pomegranate - the tip didn't turn out great, but the first try was much worse! I kept re-measuring, re-cutting and re-stitching the gilt smooth purl, until I realized that the ragged edges could be covered by the "seeds" strategically, and progress was much faster.
