Melissa Shirley Monkey w/Flowers

Border w/vintage beads



Close up of top border. Again w/vintage flower beads

I love this monkey and have wonderful plans for him.  Lots of beads and silk ribbon for the flowers.  Many of the stitches are from Sherry Bray of Queen Anne Stitches, a needlepoint store in Santa Clarita.  If you ever have a chance, stop by.  They're about 30 minutes from Los Angeles and have a great selection of threads and canvas' as well as great employees like Sherry!
