I have ideas jumping in my head like fleas on a hot tin tray. Don’t yet have the skill to do some of them, but it is fun trying.

Take a piece of muslin. It’s really called cheesecloth here in the Old Country-designed for the purpose of straining the solids in milk from the whey when making cheese. But also known as muslin. I think it’s more openweave than American muslin? Might be wrong. But take a piece of cheesecloth/muslin and spend a happy hour in a summer garden, pulling threads.

And now it’s a grid and screaming to worked on.

Whilst I do that, here’s the finished postcard from the last post.
