Part Six Started


I started part six this week; I'm a part behind, but I don't really see a way to catch up. I've got alot of blackwork to do on this one, possibly even more than I did in part three. I need to get cracking on it.

It's a Muslim Country (Warning, OT and possibly offensive)


I know this isn't what you expect on my blog, but it struck me as silly, so I'm posting it. There are five or six of these identical billboards downtown. Yes, it's a Muslim country. Well, it's a secular country with a very large Muslim population. Anyway, it struck me as a way to show how very European Kosovo is, too.

Enlarging the Point


I worked a bit on this this week, and the inner design is beginning to take shape.

All Glitzed Up

I think I have most of the glitz on this done now. I like the way it looks, the diamond. It might make a nice small photo frame.

Egg Nearly FIlled


I'm almost done with my first egg. This is going faster than parts two and three. On the other hand, it's only four colors.
Yesterday, when I was walking home from the embassy, a gentleman in a car driving down the street stopped and gave me a lovely and unique compliment. He said I bring the summer! Isn't that sweet? I thanked him. Today the special at lunch was good - a savory crepe filled with ground beef and peppery spices. No sauce and just a little bit of the local cheese melted on top. Of course I couldn't eat all of mine, so it came home with me for lunch tomorrow.
I'm sorry I haven't been showing pictures yet. My host has been sick and we've gone no where. I've not even been able to walk downtown on my own due to scheduling conflicts. Tomorrow, though, we're supposed to go downtown and I'll make sure to bring a camera!

Nearly There


I'm still working on the last bit of band eight. The way the separated soy luster shreds, it's amazing I have any hair left. I've got just a little bit more to go and then I'll never separate the stuff again.

The Green Line Grows

This week, both the green line and the light green squiggles (okay, leaves) grew around the outer border. It's getting close to completion and I might go ahead and put things aside to finish it this week.
