Blackwork, oh my!

Surely one of us needs this?

I think the universe it trying to tell me something

Like that it's time to be getting started on my camicia!

Have you been reading Baroque Embellishments lately?

I'd call that a sign...

We're going to Teslacon!

I'm so excited I'm practically bursting!

So many new outfits to plan. So many gadgets to consider.

Hmmm....what *is* the appropriate attire for an exploratory day on the moon?

It's giving me something to think about while I work on my IRCC II outfit!

IRCC II - The Question of the Moment

O.K.

As you can see, I've started working on the trim. I'm tilting the inner loops in groups of four and I think the new interaction and rhythmic spacing does just what I wanted in terms of unifying the two small band of trim into a single unit. And it also looks much less modern to my eyes

Both good things!

The question of the moment is, 'Should I go further?'

I could do so many things...tilting the outside loops also, stitching an additional pattern where the four loops meet, pearling or jeweling the trim at the intersections, or in the spaces I've created...

I've yet to commence the work on the frogs and buttons with which to close this puppy so I don't want to go crazy but as we know I'm a 'More is more!' kind of girl...

What do you think?
