Today it rained. Also, being Easter, everything was closed, which was a good thing - no temptation to go drive around/shop when I had things to do.
I unwound the mock Fortuny and it turned out better than expected!! It has good movement but the pleats are very firmly set - I will still store it twisted into a knot when finished though.
I was able to create the lacing holes and add laces, but I will need to go searching for the perfect beads as trim/lace ends (so they can't come out of the holes - clear as mud?). Purple, I think, if I can find the right shade.
Also completed some (sigh) cobalt and gold jewelry for myself. The nice thing about wire and bead work is that you get results quickly.
Tired due to lack of sleep and dark weather but I'm staying awake so as not to screw up my schedule even more than it already has been.
