MIRROR IMAGING

  Yesterday morning, sitting out in my spot on our deck, I worked on getting the
upper black x's part of my next butterfly in a mirror image-- Right and Left...
                  Just sayin'..........That is a bit more challenging than it looks...

And, you hawk-eyed followers may see that that I have colored in part of its
body using  my Prismacolor Premier pencil in Pomegranate.. 
                                                             ⇊⇊⇊⇊⇊
These are a few of  the complete set I own
from my coloring book days...

I first underlay with white; 
and then add a very light coat of the Pomegranate--
I am trying  to see if it makes
this butterfly part
stand out a bit more...

We'll see what this looks with the
deep maroon stitching over it...

But first I need to finish the black outlining...
Today, though, with our breezes 
and the showery weather 
it actually feels chilly 
on the deck 
so I will be stitching inside...
