I left out the border and letters. I also decided to do the scrollwork in her dress in purple since I think the gold just fades right into the light purple. Admittedly I may have picked a too-dark purple...
I love how shiny her cloak edge is!
What else? My now almost habitual switching of beads. Charted she has 2 purples and 2 golds; I just used once each. And I went with all purple beads in the dress and all gold in the cloak. I think the photos make the purple stand out, but in actuality they blend right in.

Just gorgeous. I loved stitching this one, and all of the Celtic ladies when I did them a long, long time ago.
She looks beautiful, Blu!!! Congratulations on the finish!!! I actually love the dark purple scroll work in her dress! I think it just pops! I have stitched her as well, and I can say you are right, the gold kinda fades away in the purples. But yours looks amazing!!
Very pretty! I love all the purple!
Beautiful! Now to frame her and find room on the walls for her.
Wonderful job and fairly quick!

A stunning finish Blu!! I love the changes you made to her and I think the dark purple on the scrollwork really helps it to stand out. Beautiful!
So lovely Blu. You really have gorgeous stitching. I can't for the life of me lie my stitches so they don't twist. I do all the untwisting, etc, but maybe it's just my luck. I love all the beading in this design!!
Wow, she's stunning =) Excellent work!!!
She is adorable! congratulations with the finish!
Hugs,

The purple scroll work looks great. I'm thinking "that would make a nice tattoo!"
