And it is a finish.

I  used Parisian stitch and Silk Lame Braid 18 in 22 and 110.  Then I outlined the diamonds with Kreinik #8, 002 in tent stitches.  I filled them in with RD Sprinkles 27 and Ultra Sprinkles 03.

The brim is worked with the same Silk Lame colors and the Ultra Sprinkles 03.

The spider has Wisper W99 doubled for his legs using straight stitches.  His body is Fuzzy Stuff 02 in horizontal Gobelin stitches.  I added Mill Hill petite gold beads, 557 for his eyes.

Both of these are ready to send to the finisher!

From the top down

I am going to stitch from the top down.  The star is stitched with Renaissance Designs UltraSprinles 03 using long French knots from the center out.  The next section is stitched in Basketweave.  I used RD Sprinkles, 27, 31 and Silk Lame Braid 18 in. 22 and 110.  I added Mill Hill Petite beads in 10557.

The black area is stitched in Brick over two with Silk Lame 18 color 01.  The beads are Mill Hill 3043.

The turquoise area is upright Gobelin stitches in Silk Lame Braid 18, 140.

The next black area is all Basketweave using Silk Lame Braid 01, 140 and RD Sprinkle 31.  I added Mill Hill Petite beads 10557.
