Handwork

I spent a good amount of time on Back Tack this weekend, no sewing for me. Assembling the kitty was quick and easy, a little practice certainly helped and this time the resulting kitty was much more athletic looking and adult.  Here’s a teasing peak:

This kitty is a lean and elegant princess of a kitty, no awkward kitten here.  As such she needed a few big girl trinkets.  And here is where all my time is going.  It has been a long time since I have any bead embroidery, and I had forgotten how much time is involved.  Oh its fun.  I am having a blast.  But progress is painfully slow.

I don’t have a macro feature on this camera and apparently this shot was too close.  You get the idea anyway, I’m sure.
