My garden has entered it’s orange phase.  It will last until frost.

I’ve done a few attempts at a lace owl.

First, I filled in a chart with likely lace stitches. The stitch count got away from me, I’ve lost that swatch (oops)

Then I tried a long swatch of likely lace stitches, and placed paper cut outs from the original owl sketch on top of them, a sort of concrete riff CrazyLacelady’s method. I think I need a smaller lace scale and a large paper scale.

Then I worked on the background mesh, making half eyelets to refine the edge.

I really need to work on the face.

Um, I got distracted, but I’ll be back eventually.  Anyone going to Rhinebeck?  Dan and I will be there!
