Grease Alley, an industrial backwater neighborhood in a blade-runner/fifth-element genre. These shops back onto a trash and old parts-strewn gully, where the junk skiff comes by to pick up broken components, industrial leftovers, and the occasional "borrowed" part.
Over yesterday and today, I've finished out her muzzle and worked on her right eye- I think i've redone it 3 times to try to get it just right. Not really happy with the nose, it could be it looks to be all black on photographs, I'll have to think about it.
As Ada Lovelace was a mathematician I was searching here to show some symbolism in stitch.
The samples are based on a calculator keyboard and have a base of machine stitching on a felt base.
The top sample is burnt with a soldering iron, the second uses fabric paint, the third had an enamelled symbol heat treated on to it, and the fourth had foil, heat applied to it.

This interesting sample is painted Tyvek, stitched in a grid pattern and then heated with an iron. You are left with..........almost nothing!

Hear the sledges with the bells -
Silver bells!
What a world of merriment their melody foretells!
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
In the icy air of night!
While the stars that oversprinkle
All the heavens seem to twinkle
With a crystalline delight;
Keeping time, time, time,
In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells
From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells -
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.
