FFO: Châtelaine - Mini Mandala III

 I did it!  I finally framed my first Châtelaine.  

I stitched the Mini Mandala III last year to see if I liked the specialty stitches and beading.  Of course, I fell in love with the whole process.  

I was afraid to attempt my first framing project on this particular stitch.  I didn't want to mess it up, so I waited until I had practiced on a few other projects.

I plan on stitching all four (I - IV) of the mini mandalas so I wanted similar frames.  I saw these simple black frames and thought it would work for all four.

Although the picture looks dark, it doesn't show accurately.  I'm very happy with the result.  The stitching and beads just sparkle and pop and the frame doesn't take away from the design.
