An Adrenalin Rush

There's a reason why I call my method of appliqué "extreme" needle turn. Doing the first cuts on the center of the Wing Cloth was high adventure.
I folded back the uncut pink and brown to get them out of the way.
Only the center corners are attached by appliqué. This remains tentative, nothing pinned down yet. 
Of course, the possibility of absolute failure adds to the adrenalin rush...

I've looked at your work and never understood how you do it. Now I get it! The openness here adds to a feeling of the translucency of butterfly wings. Adrenalin, eh? Are you working fast and furious?

Minka, I'm working slow and furious!

Julierose, I decided long ago that I would let the fabric go where it wanted to in the needle turn appliqué. No net, lots of surprises.
