I finished the snake shape and started on the background grasses. It's at that stage where it doesn't look like much but the snake has started to take on a life of its own. It is very pleasant to the touch - soft - not what you would expect a snake to fee like. I can't wait to get to the beading. I really like this technique - it goes pretty quickly once you decide where you are going - it's kind of a cross between weaving and crochet.
