there has been so much work on the lava center on one side, i had neglected the back for too long. and so i switched sides for a while, focusing on the center of the back, behind the cranes, the wishing star now has a personality. the velvets have stretched out a bit and are not lying flat. but it is ok because more sculpted faces are in order. all that loose fabric can be gathered up to form the faces. remember the forest faces? (wise tree spirit ) ( moss man ) ... time to put some stories together. tomorrow i will do a recap of this quilt project... a "where am i?" ...just to reveiw how far i am and where i need to go.
