I like Mirabilias - for all they look complex they are actually pretty easy to stitch (and rather addictive, if you check out my blog, you will notice I have finished 3 and have a heap of them as WiPs or waiting to be WiPs).
And the Fire Goddess has been an ultra quick stitch so far :D
I think once you get the hang of the basics it is more breaking the pattern down into manageable sections and stitching each bit at a time. And branching out into beading and metallics (but really, beading is actually pretty simple, again once you venture into it...my first project with beads had a gazillion -or so it felt... LOL)
