Slowly, carefully.
Anyway ........ slowly I am making progress. It may not seem like a lot, but it's not like doing straightforward blackwork infill of shapes. Trying to get the shading right takes time. This is about pleasure - lets take our pleasures slowly!

I am fascinated to see your blackwork picture take shape - it is lovely. May I ask what kind of fabric you are using? Also how many different thicknesses of thread are being used?

Hi Pam. I am using 36 count linen and, so far, have used 7 different threads. Thanks for your interest.
