I worked more on the geisha's face last night, filling in the gray brow arch with stem stitches, then working toward the eye with light gray. After I ran out of light gray I switched to white and worked on the forehead. This takes a long time but since a large part of the charm of this canvas is the fact that the elegant geisha is an animal, it has to be right.
This photo isn't as enhanced as yesterday's since I wanted you to get more of the actual effect. The face looks rough up close but very good from a distance which is probably more like how it'll be viewed.

Nice job on the gray arch, and I know it takes a while to work in a single strand, but it is oh, so worth it!
