not a great photo, but a fun knitting/crochet project :-) Mitered squares with a crochet edge - almost done now!
There's been a lot of interest in this piece lately, so I thought I'd show where I'm at with it currently. About 200 hours so far, a little more than 50% finished.
This shows machine embroidery on to a sandwich of chiffon, knitting and a cotton base.
The wool fibres of the knitted piece have been trapped behind the chiffon, but when I burn away the chiffon with a heat gun, some of the fibres will spring back.
This shows a close up of the machine stitching. I have put a layer of chiffon over the velvet which has been embellished with embossing crystals.
Some of the crystals are very thick so I avoided stitching over them.
I will now burn away the chiffon with a heat gun.

Work in Progress
Background still needs work and the odd bit of tweaking. Almost there
(snapshot directly from inworld, Caliah Lyon's windlight settings, no postwork)
Since the release of Sayuri I've been working on a softer skin again, a softer version of Eva if you will. Though I try to make my skins look "real", I find my personal preference fighting that all the way, and I want to stick to the handdrawn/pastel look.
For the interested: The bikini is from Artilleri and the hair is from Fri.day
They are "tapped" and ready to be sandblasted prior to the blackening bath.
Then after neutralization, the will be dried prior to being coated with a couple of coats of clear Matt Sealer that I use.
getting ready to tie in another thread & work the 4th pass, then the beaded band will be rolled together and woven into a round rope
some beads for another project have started sneaking onto my work tray (pretty pink porcelain donut)
BUT now i'm going to crochet, I think I will finish my green scarf today. I don't feel any real urgency to finish this beadwork, just enjoying the process, very zen.
