I ended up not cutting out an extremely fiddly bit between the duck's feet as the finished fabric is going to end up being pleated so much it won't be missed.

And on that note, the paint should be dry enough for me to shift to the next section.

EDIT: Both skirt tiers are painted!

They remind me of dodo birds.

Yeah, don't they? Mandarin ducks are an auspicious motif symbolizing conjugal fidelity and affection. I just liked the design.

What kind of paint are you using?

Jacquard Textile Color. I got it from Dharma Trading.
