nautillus!

here is my "nautie" as started the other week- since then I've finished it, but there is always a big delay with my photographing and posting....

it's in a very plush velvety velour cheneille(which means "caterpillar" in french!), that was very hard indeed to work on these small bamboo needles. But I kept doggedly away at it, and was really pleased with the cushy result.

I am IN LOVE with this ingenious shell design- so much could be done with it- I am thinking hats mostly here, but also a huge ammonite pillow!
