Today's Calmer

Last night I worked a bit on the tombstones next to Luna. I'm basketweaving the cross, being careful to match the subtle shading as much as possible. I've figured out the lettering on the cracked tombstone and will be working on its background once the cross is done. That will be a while. It takes a lot of time to basketweave an area smoothly, particularly when you are constantly changing colors.
Once the cross and cracked monument are finished, I will work the grass around their base. But first I need to find a fourth color in my stash for the shadows on the cross.

Great job shading on the basketweave cross - I had to click on the close up to even see what was stitched so far!
