Striping

I've now added some orange stripes to the huge butterfly.  I also am almost to the bottom of the piece in a few places.  Almost halfway done!

Gift Box

Andreas received this beautiful box from the Rogerses for looking after their cat while they were on a skiing trip.  It's very beautifully carved and looks great for putting small trinkets in.

Dark Blue

I'm almost to the far edge of the design, yay.  This has been taken up as one of those small projects I want to knock out before I go.

Here Comes The Sun

The sun motif bleeds from the first to the second part.  I'm using a variegated yellow instead of two solid colors.  I think it looks better this way.

Breakfast At Palais Royal Hotel

Breakfast was included with our room, and it was good.  I had tea and Andreas had hot chocolate and we each picked one of six breakfast options.  Mine included porridge and French toast.  My raspberry jam was excellent with the toast, though I ended up eating it with my hands.  The porridge was good, too.  Andreas had an omelette and regular toast.  Our food was fresh, hot, and cheerfully served.

Leafing Out

I've got some of the leaves outlined.  The blue adds a lot of punch to the piece, I think, and makes it look better.  Now to start some more fill.  The flower is the biggest single part of the piece, so it feels like I have less to go.

Greeen!

Yay, I'm down to the green parts.  It's almost done now.  It's so close to done.
