Hardanger Ornament

This was done for a friend as an engagement gift.  It was the first hardanger piece I ever attempted.  It took me about 2 hours to finish the whole piece.
The first picture is of my first attempt that ended up not working out because I cut a wrong thread so I had to start over...
I ended up making some changes when I did it again which I think turned out nicely.
 
First attempt: February 2nd, 2005
Second attempt and finish: February 3rd, 2005
