I finally finished this! Yay! It looks brighter in person, and I hope to have it framed here in Poland soon.  

Down to all the other stitching and beading. This is on the home stretch!  

The garden is almost completely enclosed now. I am nearing the end of the cross stitches.  

I am working on the bottom border. It's time to get this puppy done once I reunite with it in Warsaw.  

The middle of the mandala is done outside of beading. Time to work on the inner and outer borders.  

I had to take out and redo some of the jessica stitches, but the rest is coming along. I hope to have this done soon-ish. Brought it with me...

The outer border lines are started. Still quite a bit to go.  

Working on the third part now, yay! This is the last part. Lots of backstitching to go though.  

Done with the cross stitches on part two and time to start the final part. Still working on a lot of backstitching, though.  

I am almost all the way around on this. It's time to get cracking.  

Gates are coming along. The top half of this part is now done.  

Time to start making some portals.  

I've been meaning to get back to this, so I added it to the rotation finally. The first part is done, but the second of three has a lot ...

All four corners are done now, and I'm getting close to closing off this square.

Still getting the border done on this section. And the purple scrolls are getting more gold outline.

A whole bunch of squares of outlining the middle area. At least they''re different colors, so not too boring.

Done with the center and moving it on to the first border. I wish I had more time to work on this.

I am now doing a new border. Part one is all cross stitched. Time to start the other stitches on it, too.

The photo is sideways, but it does show I've gotten all the middle part done except a little bit of the purple scroll. Major progres...

The inner diamond is done now, and it's time to finish off the little scrollies.
