Being the adventures of a historic recreationist

Good thing the US scored some awesome gold today. Davis in the 1000m short track, White on the half pipe & Vonn on the down hill. I need that golden inspiration, given that I have started to put down the gold oulines around my motifs. Not quite how I thought it would go, but it's doing okay.   Trickiest two parts and deciding where to begin and end eas thread and to get the teensy points of metal to come together.
 

I have down more of the gold, but still have a ton to do.
