Waiting for paint to dry....

....so I can shift to the next section.

After piddling half-heartedly with a stencil blank and X-acto knife I asked myself what I was so damn scared of? I began began painting the flowers free-hand, working on the assumption that doing so will contrast nicely with the geometry of the lozenges. I just have to remember not to do groups of four or nine as those numbers are considered unlucky.



Edit - when I knocked off today, I had painted flowers on the collar segment and the back sections of the body panels. I maybe could've done more. This leaves the fronts of the body panels, the overlap panels and both sleeves. After that, I can get out the green paint and start all over again, but that's not as nearly as much painting.

Domo arigato gozaimashita, tomodachi. From eight inches away, it doesn't look quite as stunning because I can see the slubs in the silk and the brushstrokes, but I'm still pretty pleased with how it's coming.
