The colors in the picture are a bit off. (I wish I had a good spot to take pictures of things in natural sunlight!)

After seeing Juls' progress on Cirque, I really wanted to get back to it. I was kind of bummed because just after threading a new needle, I realized that I had made a mistake in the upper right circle the last time I worked on this. Not a very auspicious start! Anyway, it required some frogging before I could continue.

This project looks better to me from far away; up close it isn't all that impressive, but when I see it from across the room, I just love it! It's pretty fun to work with these beautiful silks, too. (Caron Waterlilies in "Monsoon")
