Half Wings

The wings are the single largest area of stitching on this piece. And I am now halfway done with them. 

 

Putting Little Flowers In

Not really visible yet, but there are little flowers on the left hand bottom side. Getting them put in before starting again on the peacock tail.

 

Merged

The wings are merged now and about a third of the way done. This photo is a lot more blue than the work itself.

 

Winging The Back

Made a bit of progress on the back wing. Still lots of wing to go.

 

Back to the Branches

I am back to the tree branches on the left now. It's good to be four pages done.

 

Merging Wings

Wings are merging together. But they're still only about a third done.

 

Time for the Fifth Page

 

There are a few more stitches to work on before starting the fifth page. Lots done!

Merging Wings

Two eyes visible and working on merging the wings into one blob now. They are the single largest element of the whole piece.

 

Two Wingtips

I've reached the top of both wings. Time to fill them in by working downwards.

 

Time for the Peahen

This little peahen is about to get some love.

 

Met Up with Tamara

And she brought some good things from Moldova! Thank you Tamara! It was great seeing you.

 

Onto the White Breast

Getting to be able to work on the peahen now. Since her blocks are a bit more solid, I should be a bit quicker.

 

Filling a Wing

My first wing is taking shape.

 

Still Tailing

Just a few bits of the tail to get done before going on to the peahen and finishing page four. So very close to it.

 

Wingtip

I've made it to the top of the first wingtip. It's all downhill from here.

 

Oh, That Tail

It keeps going on and on and on...

 

Top of a Wing

Working on a wing getting to the top. I think it is now. Only a tiny bit of the second wing done.

 

Tailing Along

 Going along on the bottom of page four. The peacock tail is coming along, but soon I will switch over to the peahen.

Beginning to Wing It

A good start on a butterfly wing. This butterfly will take a bit, bit it's the focal point of the piece.

 

Dinner With Moldovan Friends

Friends I used to work with in Moldova came to Warsaw for an exchange. I got to work with them again! So I also took them out to dinner, where we found Moldovan wine. Dinner was at Restaurant Lwow. We had a great time.
