On to colour

Still working on the feathers and the studio is a mess. Were all always tired and practically living off sugary drinks but the end is in sight.

We are now onto the gradient and the skirt is coming to life. We are having to work closer together to get as much done as quickly as possible so that the frame can be re stretched and the sides of the pattern can be started.

I also had to pop to John Lewis to get more coloured thread that matched the feathers as there would be more of us working on the frames. 

The feathers are ordered by number, and are sorted into bunches. To make the gradient two coloured feathers are mixed together in a bunch of 12. Black is mixed with the darker purple for a number of rows then the purples are mixed together ect. This creates an even gradient on all the pieces.
