such great work! Don't think I'm patient enough to do thread painting, Rob, but your's is outstanding!. Quilting Vagabond--I was working on the same masks today for grandboys and their Mom--so cute! And I like how you have the elastic with the beads--so am I right that it goes around the ears and then the 2nd beads "clip" together? All I have left to do is the elastic and beads--had planned to do the one where the elastic goes over the head & around the neck at the bottom and then the top is pulled up with a bead. Uses more long pc of elastic and I'm possibly going to run out of it but do have a source. I also made 5 for son that is electrician and informed me that his are getting "grubby". Since he wears a hard hat all day and says that anything tied or even elastic around the top part of the head gets irritating underneath the hard hat. So I added more elastic and a bead to go over the hard hart--hope that works! Want to get these done so I can start a quilt!
