The shading is finicky, and I pull out and redo about 30% of it. I work on it folded so I don't need a big frame, but it makes mirroring the shading a bit trickier, so I have to spread it out from time to time to see how balanced I am keeping the shading.
I am using at least 8 different shades of yarn for the blues/purples in this stage.

Yesterday I bought braid-in, very unreal hair extensions at a discount store. I'm going to weave it. On my loom. And it's going to be glorious.
It's very fairy-colored ombre - pinks, purples, blues, etc. I can hardly wait to see it in action, but I don't even know which loom I'll use yet. I'm also expecting that I'm going to be really frustrated with it as a material, but I'm still in love with the idea.

Prepping for the next (scariest) bit of this piece. It involves colour blending with a bunch of different shades of yarn.
For Folks interested in my "process", most of it is eyeballing measurements and using a Sharpie to sketch things out directly on the work surface.I just finished dividing the sky up into segments/gradients to (hopefully) keep my colour blending in track.
To give an idea of scale, this piece is 3 feet wide from border to border.

Slow progress -- borders take FOREVER -- but almost done. Toes for scale.
Next I'll add three more flowers in the background, and start working on sky, grass and stems.
