25 for 2025 #3: Oil Derrick by Eye Candy

Started another ornament in the 12 Days of Texas series. This one shouldn't take too long.

 

Starting a Wing

The green lines up top are the beginning of a dragon wing. The rest is coming along, at least. There's so very much to go on this.

 

Bits of Sparkle

Yay, little bits of wheat ears showing up. The end is not near, but in sight.

 

Dancing Flowers

Dancing flowers to give away at some point.

 

Appleton's Wool

I am in the Certificate and Diploma program by the Royal School of Needlework now. The first project is design and stitch your own crewel. We have to pick three color families to work with. Mine are the blue, the yellow next to it, and the green. 

 

The Rest of the Haul



This is the rest of the pottery we bought in Boleslawiec last October. Some new patterns, some old.

 










Berlin Astronomical Clock

In Berlin, the Cold War was fought architecturally, too. This is one example - a communist astronomical clock. It sits in the main square of the former East Berlin. Kind of a neat design and one I've not seen before.
