✨It is done✨
(well, almost)
Now I need to find the best fabric and composition to sew them on because as fun as it is to play with them as if they were dolls, they are a bit fragile for that

Update: it's a slow going, but I haven't given up yet, so I count that as a win. I'm learning so much through this, though - I can definitely see the progress I'm making. I've learnt how to make bobbin lace so many years ago, but this is the first big piece I've dared make, I kind of regret that now.
In other news, I've definitely underestimated the amount of thread that I'll need😆

When you go, your footprints will fill with grass. Moss shall cover your tombstone, and as the sun rises, green shall spread over all, in all its shades and hues. This verdigris will overtake your swords and your coins and your battlements and, try as you might, all you hold dear will succumb to it. Your skin, your bones. Your virtue - The Green Knight 2021
Portrait of Dev Patel in his role as Gawain in The Green Knight. Acrylic paint and embroidery floss on Cotton. 17 inches diameter.

I've gone into a hyperfixation rabbit hole and been making and thinking about paper pieced blocks non stop for a week. I'm riffing on traditional blocks and geometric shapes (because that's what I like) and using scraps, bits from mystery bags and bundles, and the leftovers from a variety of charm packs I've part used.
My blocks are a mix of ones I downloaded and ones I drafted myself on paper with a ruler and pencil.
I don't really have a plan for what they will be, initially I was thinking table topper, now I'm thinking maybe placemats? Maybe I'll go as far as quilt? Dunno. We'll see how many I make before I get tired of doing it.
