In the end, I sighed, consigned the Cretan memories to perdition, and decided to do the little girls in the same colour as their parents. However, while I was looking at the tangle of limbs and bodies of the two smaller girls on Nefertiti’s lap, I thought that something definite would need to be done to keep them from turning into an amorphous tangle of limbs, something like one of my early memories of my two big cousins. I’ve since got my cousins separated in my head, but I thought it would be nice to keep Nefertiti’s daughters individual from the start!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I started putting in an outline on the eldest daughter, using a fine, very dark brown thread from Devere Yarns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only to stare at it with hostility, because it somehow managed to look a bit too clunky!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considering that Devere silks are really very fine, this is quite an achievement, although I’ll admit it wasn’t one I particularly cherish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I decided to just keep working on the “block colours” of the design and trust to later inspiration to find out how to keep the girls from blurring into an undifferentiated shape. I’ve left a few deliberate gaps where limbs cross, to help the design “read” properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I’m not sure, now, that they really need anything else…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video is well in advance of these posts, because I lost the photos I was going to use. Heigh-ho. Anyway, enjoy Episode Twenty Two<\/a>, in which, among other matters, the mathematical concept of “triviality” is discussed…!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
