RSC April

 The color for this month is yellow 

For any of you party goers who follow along

And I need to make at least 2 more to round up this months batch

Critter BOM

 So here we finish Madame la Herssone from

last years Block of the month from Sue Spargo

I had her background and environs finished 

but not the knotty problem of her Prickles

Not wanting her to be boring, I decided to cover her with little drizzles, instead of the occasional drizzles as laid out in the instructions

A close-up reveals she is made of very densely packed drizzle stitch, you must admire them, they took for F%*king ever!

3 different kinds of thread and some brassy colored tinsel type thread, like krenik but not them.

Because again, YBboring? And I had a little left for a little project,  it wanted using up. So I paired it with a dark brown DMC size 8 twist

and randomly drizzled away

Then there was the med brown/purple/grey Finca size 8 twist 

and last but not least the brown variegated that came in the BOM 

The blocks are about 6" square so she's not a big 

Hedggie but still that was a lot of drizzling

Good thing I had this car trip to see the eclipse

so I could finish her coat on the way when I wasn't driving.

Here she is Madame la Herssone!

I might give her butterfly another pair of wings though

The eclipse was wonderful BTW.

Madame La Herssone isn't quite finished yet

I decided her prickly's should be a close drizzle stitch 

so.....she's going to be a while

I also want to give her butterfly another set of wings

My additions to the piece beyond the pattern are 

more spots on the mushroom cap

bullion stitch for the gills

and a woven ring with cast-on frills for the stem
