The Hare and Wanderscapes

 

Most of the background for the second door is complete.

I am loving the intensity of color I get from the detached buttonhole shapes.  

 

Here is the beginning of the sleeping Hare.

 

I haven't stitched the head yet. Here I am just checking to make sure everything fits as planned.

 

 

I am very happy with how the shape is turning out but the body has become so dense with stitches I am having a hard time working on the arm. My hand complains after just of few minutes.

Slow and Steady indeed. 

Slow and Steady

 

Aesop's Fables are the theme of my next casket. In the story of the Red House, Claire and William run a puppet theater of fables. 

 

The colors look rather gloomy. We haven't seen the sun in days.

But the colors glow in real life and when I get better photos I'll share.
