I've decided it is time to sell it and so I am offering this unique needlepoint for sale. Using special  needlepoint thread, each and every hole on the canvas was stitched with a bead, one at a time. It was a tedious job but also a labor of love. I think there are about 17,000 beads, I tried counting once & I think that's what it came out to. I used several different types of beads in different textures to add interest and drama to this needlepoint. This needlepoint has been professionally matted and framed with a large antique style gold frame that is a perfect compliment to the picture. Measurements: with frame - 19 1/2" x 15 1/2" -----  without frame - 15 1/4" x 11 1/4" This comes from a non-smoking home.
