St. Petersburg Stitch

I saw this beautiful stitch on the April 2007 Bead & button issue.
At first, it took me some time to grasp the technique and I had to unpick the work several times. After I succeeded to make a little piece of work, it just fluently progressed.
I made a few jewelries by this stitch, and then I decided to try something new.
I made only one side of the pattern and used large drop beads on the edges, instead of seed beads.
I like this new look of the St. Petersburg jewel; don't you?
