Huh, weird. I'll assume it's your wifi for now, unless someone else comes in who sees broken images as well... But tell me if it persists when you have normal internet again, please.
I worked off a description on the internet (
this one). I cut the two kinds of rectangles from packing paper first to use as a stencil on the fabric.
I'm not quite sure how long I worked on it all in all, since I cut the fabric one day and did the actual sewing on another, but the sewing itself I did all in one sitting, so about an evening. It was faster than I expected once I got the machine to stop tangling up the upper and lower thread.
It was actually not so hard, since it's all straight lines, except for the very last seam that goes around once, where I actually turned at the edges in a somewhat round manner.
I've never worked with rock! That sounds fascinating. I've seen quite a lot of really pretty pictures of wire-wrapped pendants, though. What kind of tools do you use to shape and polish the rock? Do you just take some pretty rocks you find outside or some specific stones? I imagine it would be quite cool to always keep an eye out for pretty things to use when you're out and about, that would make any ordinary walk exciting!
Maybe it's for the best that your cat found the weakness in that stone before you used it in a bigger project then?
