Chatelaine's Mini Mandala 2

I just completed this piece. I found that the gold backstitching around the fence and gate didn't look quite right to me. More or less it was the type of floss being used. The sparkle of the metallic would have been lovely but the floss was too wide and flat and simply did not "lay" right according to my preferences. Still, Martina Weber did a fantastic job designing this lovely little piece. I look forward to doing the 3rd mandala in the near future.
