I've been working on a little bit of everything but the most noticeable progress from the last 2 days is the floor cloths. This new motif too FOREVER because of having to work it under 3 other designs and having to change holes on the gear and move it 2 spaces every time around. There is a mistake but I don't think it's noticeable enough to "erase" it and start over. Then I added this design and I did make a a mistake that had to be erased. Erasing here means painting over with a tiny paint brush. This one was particularly complex to draw to get under and through the other designs. I had to go very slow. This is after fixing the stray mark and coloring in part of the design. Here's that last design added to the small floor cloth that will go in front of the refrigerator. Here's one of the long ones with it's new design in place. I really feel the end in sight now. In other news, I got a photo of Ella happy with her new doll outfit so I'm cutting out a jumper and hat. I think I'll try to do a couple each month along with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge colors. January is pink. I, thankfully, don't have a lot of pink fabric but at least this one has pink in it. The next set of star points are underway too. Soooooo close.

You sure are having fun, and great results, with your spirlograph or whatever it is called.

I foresee lots of doll clothes in your future - you've created a monster! 1/20/2021 08:50:10 pm
I don't think anyone else will ever see the mistakes on the floor cloths because you are the only one who knows what they are supposed to look like. I cannot even imagine doing such tedious work, but mostly because I'm too old to even try it.

Those floor cloths are a work of art. I love functional artwork like this.

They are going to be unique and beautiful, and with all the time and work on your knees that goes into them, I'm assuming there will be a waterproof coating to protect all that BST (blood, sweat and tears) that's going into them. I'm definitely with Wanda, and I'm even older than she is, with a couple of artificial knees. I'm very glad the end is in sight now, and you will be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

The floor cloths are stunning! They could be mesmerizing, too; I can picture myself following lines... Comments are closed.
