Tabled and Mirroring

The mirror is almost done now, too! And the bottom edge is started. On the home stretch.

 

Working the Wings

The wings are close to being done, and the butterfly's body is almost complete. Will be so happy when I finish the wings.

 

Kentucky Chain Done

When I picked these colors, I decided not to do the bits in between the loops as in the pattern. So I put a big Rhodes stitch in the middle and am calling it done!

 

Working on Wings

This is the single largest stitched area in the whole piece. Once I'm done with it, I'm more than halfway through.

 

The Little Runs

Time for me to do the smaller runs now. One started; three more to go.

 

Up and Down and Up

Dragged this out to add to the rotation. It shouldn't be a looong project. I hope.

 

Two Full Rings

It's time to start the little rings.

 

Wing Spots

Spots on the wings are here now. Lots of wing left to do, though.

 

Orion Done

It needs some straightening and is a bit wonky here, but it's done.

 

Two Loops

Two big loops done. Time for the small ones.

 

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.
