Two Sides Done-ish

Almost done with the second of four parts of part five.  I think I am getting pretty good at this.


Tulip Garden Done

I know my particular version of this knot won't be liked by everyone.  It's against almost every recommendation by the designer, but I like it, and that's what counts.  I'm glad to have it done because I've got a lot more knots to do!  I'm sure they'll all be different.

Pretty Dupioni Silk

These pieces of silk are going to become purses eventually.  For now, they feel and look beautiful - especially for the price I paid for them.

Embroidered Shawl

One last all cotton shawl with embroidery over about half of it.  The embroidery is on the front and then the rest drapes behind.

Tender Heart

I made a good start on Tender Heart by Riolis.  It's about a fifth done!  

Yup, Still Black

I am still filling in with lots of black, but you can see the progress because Andreas took the photo instead of me.

Handwoven Cotton

An NGO came in to the Mumbai consulate to sell stuff, and I found this beautiful handwoven shawl.  It's well over 150 threads per inch and whisper thin.  The colors shimmer.  Of course, this has the same problem as my other shawls at the moment - the cat.  Argh.
