Design. Adjust. And Re-Design.

Started the plastic canvas designs and have already had to make adjustments to reduce waste at the cost of increased complexity. I wanted to try and make the ornament from just three pieces of plastic canvas, two 'poles' and one 'equator'. The 'equator' would be joined once and the 'poles' would join the 'arms' forming the shape pulling them into the over-all shape. However, cutting the shape would produce only one of the larger shapes from one piece of plastic canvas. If I cut smaller pieces and stitched them together, I could produce two or more ornaments from a single piece of plastic canvas. Going to try it both ways later, right now I am making two of the Easter eggs for two daughters of a co-worker and need to have them finished before the 27th.
