Victorian Beaded Bag Update

Oh dear ... what did I get myself into?! The beading takes forever so realistically the bag should be finished sometime in 2015.

 

 3 hours of work between the image 

above and the one to the right ...

The 5 square inch finished took about 15 hours (or as I measure them 2 1/2 time the complete Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth).

Despite the slow progress I'm very pleased in how it looks so it's worthwhile the effort. I decided to go for different size beads as it gives the design more texture.
