NOW it's done

about a week ago I posted this picture thinking I had finished that feather and I was ready to move on to the last one

except it just didn't look --

finished!

ok, NOW it looks finished

I went back to it and added a lot more thread painting over the last week

and it does look a lot better

and that means I can move on to the last little feathered area now and hopefully I'll soon be able to get to the quilting too

working in the beaded garden is going well, moving along up the sides of the necklace

hoping to get some more pieces out on my Etsy store today

time to get to it!
