Laced Herringbone Square and Design Challenge

My daughter gave me these glass lens type things to play with. Here's the result. The Herringbone square with the looping on the left went a bit skew wiff. woops, I've tweaked it back into place now I've seen it on the photo of course.
Detail of heart shape. Detached chain with long leg inner. Triangular herringbone square holding.


Detail of circle. Detached chain inner, with beads. Knotted herringbone square. The border is beaded split stitch, whipped down each side.

Laced herringbone square. Learning curve about using the metallic threads.

Split stitch under layer, 3 times round, then tightly whipped. I had to experiment with ways to make the glass sit up enough to allow beads underneath. The hearts are embedded and the circles perch on the top.

  1. You have mixed a lot of interesting stitches and handled the lenses with great creativity. Are all lenses round? The ones embedded in the hearts seem to fit very snuggly. The long legged Laced Herringbone Squares are just wonderful.
