One Darker

The back wing is definitely darker than the front. They both stand out well on this fabric, at least.

 

Half Wings

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

 

One Bar

Doing the big bars first so the little ones feel like I'm almost done. I think I will put some kind of waffle stitch or Hilton stitch in the middle as a focal point.

 

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.

 

Shuriken Done

Another Ink Circles mandala in the books.

 

Now to Fill

Time to fill in all the lines. First line half filled.

 

Half a Star

A bit more than half my shuriken star is done. This is coming along well.

 

All Matched Up

This is all matched up, yay! Now to fill in the bars. Tedious but easy.

 

To the Fan Panel

Making the top of the fan panel under the beeskep. Coming along, at least.

 

Merging Wings

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

 

Back to Shuriken

This is about to be worked on and finished.

 

Diamond Square

This is now all done. I think it came out really well. All the blue tones down that golden square so much. 

 

Will the Edges Meet?

It's time for the most fraught part of stitching this - will all the edges line up?

 

All Washed Up

My microbes are all done and ready to get framed. I guess this will hang in a bathroom somewhere.

 

Red and Most of White

Most of the white from the flag is done. This is in the rotation now and will speed up its progress.

 

Reached Bottom

... and both sides match up! Victory!

 

What To Wash?

So very close to finishing this. It'll make a good bathroom piece.

 

Half a Maze

I've got half my maze outlined now. And have reached the bottom!

 

Encompassed

My compass rose is done. I need to make it into an ornament. Luckily, Andreas got me a new circle cutter!

 

Big Germ

The big germ is about done. And some bars and squiggles on the side.
