Got Some Swirl

One giant swirl done and another one to do on the other side.  Beginning to look like a heart to me!



More Branches


I added more branches this time, and bits more leaf.  I love that currently I am not working with the rayon slippery stuff.  I don't like it and I don't think it adds much to the piece.

Spicy

We bought spice from a local market in Mumbai.  Some of it was for gifts, and some for us.  I am most excited about the most expensive - saffron!  I will be using this for cooking soon.

Skirts And Scarves

These tubes are broomstick skirts with printed borders.  They're very full skirts and just need waistlines.  The smaller tubes are matching scarves.  Now to get the time and space to make them into what I want.

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.
