Or, if you're like my BSP , a self described "literal Libran", you think that this little technique testing piece depicts a monster coming to eat the bird.  So, "Fly Fishing At Night" or your interpretation in the comments! It's a Rorshach test. ;)

P.S. I'm linking up with with MR over at Quilt Matters for Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday and I'm also joining Meg and Sarah.  Click on over and see what everyone else has been up to!

As usual, I'm linking up with the Needle and Thread Network for WIP Wednesday,

Come back on Friday for the big (?) reveal!

(You'll note that I decided not to stitch up the circled area after all.)

Once I pulled the thread tight I used a small-sized squeeze bottle to apply undiluted household bleach along the pulled areas, and sprinkled drops randomly over the blank area.   I watched it carefully until it was approximately the colour I wanted (allowing for the darkness of the dampness) and then quickly, and very thoroughly, rinsed with cool water.  If you try this at home, rinse it a LOT - if you don't rinse out all the bleach, it will keep discharging.


In the end, I had this.

I also did a few more along the same lines - one of which is the basis for my next piece.  More on Wednesday...
