1. I did it on organza over interfacing rather than felt over interfacing
2. I used size 15 beads rather than 11s
3. I used fewer color changes
4. I made it smaller in size
I also added some more buttons and bling here and there. Shirlee Fassell sent me some fantastic sequins and I will start adding them to paisleys and elsewhere. Here is the before and after.

I love your new Paisley piece. The additions are lovely.

Your new paisley is beautiful! Size 15 beads are tiny to work with but the result is wonderful.

Beautiful:)
I like the new and improved version and all your additions.
Your hair may be messy my friend, but your heart is big.
xo, xo,
You need 2,

So glad you replaced the paisley as the other one just seemed out of place. The orientation of the new one is much better as well!
Beautiful work as always!
Ongoing prayers for you and your mother.
I like the new paisley much more because it doesn't seem so busy. Love it. Your Mom's hair comment reminds me of a British comedy program called Keeping Up Appearances. Hugs
Thank God hair doesn't define the woman!! Glad to see you stitching and blogging. The changes worked...but I knew they would. Big love and hugs for you and your Mom. xo Susan
Yes, the new one looks much better.

I too like the revised paisley piece. Definitely cleaner and more obviously 'paisley'.
As for your mother...well, once a mother; always a mother. Sometimes we sigh... ;-)
New paisley is a definite improvement. Glad to see that you're still sticking. Hugs from cold and snowy Connecticut.
Awesome and learn so much from you xoxoxo
