I do know and love China Glaze. I'm in Australia, so not familiar with the other brands.

- Erm, do you mean - are my bare nails stained permanent light yellow from my continual wearing of dark coloured nailpolish, and am I on the lookout for a good dark red or a good purple? Then - YES! :-)

- It looks like we love the same sorts of things! Silk long and short stitch and goldwork!
You are very talented! :-) I especially love the 1938 Fan and the Or Nue beetles.

Carol-Anne said… - Hi Mandy, Edward is a kit available from Beadalot. I think that you can just purchase the pattern but some of the beads may be difficult to source .

- Mandy, your pomegranate is just perfect! You are a very gifted stitcher. May I ask what threads you used for the silk shading?

- Mandy,
Thanks for your reply. It is disappointing to me that the kit is out of print. If it isn't a bother, I'd appreciate it if you could find out if the lady still has the pattern as I don't think I could make it with just looking at your finished picture. I did do that once with a small Xmas tree ornament, but it was way more simple with no shading. BTW, I thought that blackwork was always done with on thread of floss and the shading was made by having more or less intricately filled patterns. I did not know that sometimes more or less strands of floss are used. (I think looking at a finished picture to determine how many strands of floss were used would be difficult, for me at least.
