Decorative Pattern on Doily---Experimenting with Long-and-Short Shading

I would like to thank Megan of ElmsleyRose.blogspot.com for helping me take a strong decision to discontinue working on doily no. 1 and start doily no. 2.


This is my progress on the decorative pattern on doily no. 2 so far.

I am working with long-and-short shading instead of chain stitch filling, as I wanted to try the design with long-and-short shading.
