A four legged spider web stitch was worked in the spaces left between rice stitches. #354 silver was used with the blue stitches and #340 gold with the cream. It was a little more difficult to work the stitches here than on the doodle cloth because again the sharp point of the Japanese needle tended to catch on the silk.

WOW! I've never worked spider roses in metal, that's quite an interesting concept, but beautiful.
The four legged spider web is not quite as stable as the eight-legged version, but in a sampler that doesn't matter. Quite how it worked out on clothing, I'm not so sure!
It was very interesting to see so many different stitches. Thank you.
