Dry

Looks dry to me.  Now I'll remove it from the board and trim all the loose ends.  

Drying

Closest to true color.  Pic. taken in the sun.

Pinned, Wet & Set

Pinned.

Wet & Set.

Now I wait for it to dry.

Facescape Nearly Done

Embroidered the mouth and details in the luna moth.  

Just about ready to wet & set.  Maybe a tweak or two first.

Stuffing and Tucking

First pass ~ all gaps closed.  I'll be stuffing in more thread where needed in a bit.  But first, time to tuck threads.

Tuck, tuck, tuck.

All tucked.  Time for a break.

Experimenting with eyelids.

Close-up.

Really Close

Really close.  Lots of fiddly bits yet.

Closing in on it

Just a couple large areas to fill in, then lots of stuffing here and there to shape up the design and even out the threads.

Also embroider the mouth.

Another Couple Days

Time for bed.  Closing in on it.

Back At It

...after a few weeks off.

The Messy Stage

I'll need to tuck some threads soon so I can see what I'm doing.  ;- j

I guess it's got to get messier before it can get neater.

My poor little messy "lion."

More Weaving

Weaving away.  Trading off between weaving and assigning fighter poems.
