I've been working on the layout for my bee quilt... I'm going to make three super sized scrappy star blocks for the centre :)

Take a look at the upcoming expansion of Alisa Nowak’s Eskapade, the type family that created new common ground between a nimble oldtyle serif and an experimental Fraktur.
The new Black and Black Italic styles are meant for display sizes while the original styles are better suited for text sizes.
A typeface with this much tension needs to keep a good harmony between strokes and counters, so Eskapade Black has amplified inktraps and a more dynamic structure seen in the contrast between straight and round forms. These qualities make the family bolder and more enticing, especially with the included uppercase alternates.
Be on the lookout for these two additional weights, but for now this small preview will have to suffice.
I have a precious piece of erosion bundle silk fabric which I hope to use for this special outfit. However a dried empty tea bag caught my eye so before I use my fabric I think I'll try that first.
Work in progress
finally stopped talking about sewing and started sewing. i always make a mess while i am working, but i accidentally find a lot of good color/fabric combinations that way.
Sick of this yet? Again, just two more colors. I'm glazing the colors, in much a similar way a painter goes about layering colors in slowly.
I've gone over the fruit with Crimson Red. I run right over highlights with the red, with the full intention of bringing those back later. It softens the intensity of the white, and creates new colors like the subtle pinks in each highlight.
The shadows I go over with Tuscan Red. Tuscan Red is one of the great colors for enlivening shadows from simple black.
Right... here is the disc ring - now named the brazier.
The plan is, to LOS the inside of the disc and then engrave curls like on my bracelet www.etsy.com/listing/41121324/bracelet-of-the-fey-silver-...
The curls rising above it will be silvery, partly polished, as will the top part of all the settings for the small sapphires. However, now for the last big desicion: Where to put the individual tube settings?
I have taken 8 pictures of different constellations - or rather: they aren't terribly different. Now you get until 13:30 CET to help me decide which go where. Have fun :-)
This piece is a lonnnng way from finding its way to a kiln, but I need images to show some of the steps in construction.
This particular instrument is mentioned by Dr. Bowen (fictional archeologist) and is called a Tlapitzquiquiztli (Mayan Conched Flute Horn...also fictional). It bears the stamped impression of the MugPhlute and will, hopefully, become part of the first show.
