dustmouth,
I am sure you have long ago fallen over, and i hope you are now sleeping soundly, having had a joyful day, but it is still your birthday HERE, so I don't completely fail. It's a semi-fail. I did, however, fail to finish your present (and fail by about a billionty at getting it to you). So you don't get inappropriately excited, here is the WIP, and I hope you like the idea, at least. I would certainly have finished the outline today, but I ran out of navy thread (and I was only using navy thread because I'd run out of black... you see how well-thought this whole project was). I love to sew, but I can't remember the last time I did. There are always babies around. My children saw me sewing and said "What are you DOING?"
Anyway, this is to say a small THANK YOU for all the lovely arts you give us. ♥ I have no idea why I thought you would like an ineptly sewn copy of your own work, but there you have it. :D I will send it to you when it's done and you can use it to clean up spills with, or something ;-)
Sirius' eye was HARD. This was second attempt and it's still not right. If I unpick it and redo with a felt tip, please pretend not to notice :D

It's really interesting to see the way that you've interpreted the line art actually. And I don't see any cockups so far, so you're doing well! I will eagerly await the sounds of progress then :D

Date: 2013-03-24 10:33 am (UTC)I was planning to fill in all of Sirius' hair, but I ran out of thread. I got to the shop yesterday, though, just hoping one of the blues I bought matches. The eye is a definite cock-up, he is meant to be looking up at Remus... not sure what to do about that. Perhaps he suddenly felt bashful?
Thank you for the encouragement! It's a bit sad though that you have to be cheerleading me to finish your present, hmm.

Date: 2013-03-25 11:19 am (UTC)Oh but I like that the best, it's literally one of my favourite things, one person looking at the other, without the other noticing. So I'm happy (actually you could literally do anything and I would still be over the moon- this is literally the loveliest thing that anyone has done for me in the longest time <3 )
