Lindisfarne Beasts: dog outline
Back to the sewing today, after my excursion into screen printing.
With the birds finished, it's time to start adding the colour to the dog. I want another bright colour, but different to the ones I've already used, so this time, for the outline, I'm going for a bright emerald green, Madeira 1301.
Here's the outline for most of his front end:
And his front leg too:
Then most of his back end:
And his other back leg:
Then finally his tail and ear, also in 1301, and his muzzle and eye, in 1306:
There's only the inner section to do now, though there is quite a lot of it. I think another bright colour here might be a bit much with everything else, so I think I'll tone it down a bit.

It's coming along BEAUTIFULLY! I absolutely love the colors, Ruth! Such fun to follow this project - it has me thinking about Celtic ornament!
