More on ‘Pieces of Eight’ by Gayle Bicknell.  Still using my own stash.

For Octagon D, Rhodes & Scotch, I added a long straight stitch between each Rhodes unit using 2 threads & added beads in between each Rhodes unit on the outside edges & in the center.

For Octagon E, Satin & Rhodes, I didn’t use any beads because Kreinik metallic threads were enough embellishment in a small piece.

For Octagon F, Spratshead with Woven Spider, I added beads at the end of the spokes of the Woven Spider.
