ForgetMeNot Bead Embroidery kit Floral 3D Needlepoint Tapestry Handcraft kit Blue Nosegay Beaded Cross Stitch Pattern Seed Beads Perle

I actually purchased this year a couple of years ago as a Warehouse item. Recently I decided to give it a go to see if I'd like doing bead embroidery. I fell in love with the process and the end result. I'm currently working on a second item from a different manufacturer, which has given me an even greater appreciation for my first kit.- in spite of being a Warehouse item (there was no box), the double layer canvas was in perfect condition and required no ironing- the thread is very thin but strong and holds small knots well (including when you knot the thread at the needle end to keep the tail from slipping out of the needle)- the thin beading needle is study with a large enough eye to easy thread- the combination of canvas, needle, and thread made for effortless "sewing", which became a satisfying rhythmic series of steps ... so relaxing and meditative- there were plenty of beads left over in each color and only a few beads that didn't have the hole completely drilled through- the beads were uniform in size by color (some colors were a little more narrow than others), but they all worked together very nicely- there are 11 colors (black, white, 3 shades of blue, 3 shades of green, and 3 shades of gold/brown for the bowl). Some colors are translucent, some silver lined, white lined clear, and a blue "AB". All are shiny.- I worked this tacked to a stretcher bar frame to keep the fabric uniformly taut.- the end result is just gorgeousOn my second project, I struggled a bit with the their needle and thread, so ended up switching to the needle and thread from the first kit. The fabric from the second kit is different, so the overall sewing feel is not the same, but switching to the needle and thread from the first kit has helped.My experience is that bead embroidery is slower than diamond painting, but faster than counted cross stitch or the newer stamped cross stitch ... with the amount of shine that depends on the type of beads used.This kit is a winner. I absolutely loved working on it.

What what I expecting
