Sweet lips!

Sweet they are not! I think that this is an image of an old soldier. He has his front top teeth missing - you can see the scar on his lip.

I also have a theory that Leonardo da Vinci was a time traveller called Leonard Vincent (The blackwork is of a Leonardo sketch by the way). At least this would account for all his futuristic designs.

Anyway, back to blackwork: the jawline was interesting to do, but it has worked out I think. I have used open zig zag stitch  for the lips, reduced to half scale  - otherwise it would have been too sketchy. The lips aren't quite finished yet. This week's task is to get the whole mouth area finished.
