…and, for those of you who like pretty pictures…

…I made two drafts today.  The cherry blossom (which you may recall from the diversified plain weave experiments) I will definitely use, the yin-yangs I am not so sure about.  Because of the small scale and the reflections from the point threading, they don’t really “read” as yin-yangs from a distance…but the pattern is still interesting.

That’s it for this morning.  Gotta get back to sewing and scanning!
