As you can see, the two sides of the metal sheet left different impressions. Cutting one out, I told Don that I was going to insert a tiny picture of Meliss and Jace behind a window in the lullaby book ...

| Note the cut edges on this one versus the torn edges below ... |
"Like a flap?" he asked.
"Oooooo, I hadn't thought of that!" I replied ... and promptly abandoned what I was doing to cut out a new window...

Which opens to reveal an ink-jet printed cloth photograph ...
 |
| Ink jet fabric printing invisibly basted and edged with blanket stitch ... applique would have been preferable, but the cloth quality is limiting and hard to stitch |
Happy day ... I love making tiny stitches ...
 |
| 18-20 stitches per inch |
Better yet, final assembly of the first lullaby book is finally in sight.
Addendum:

| The grad school food groups revisited on a rainy day: saturated fats, salt, chocolate, caffeine, and carbs |
