Stars: Eva Starts to Grow Wings


As you can see, Eva Marie Saint has grown since yesterday.  I finished step four (the chevrons around the center) and did step five as well. That's the eight little boxes that flank each of the diagonal points of the center shape.  I wish you could see the subtle copper touches to the boxes but I don't think the photo shows it well.  The next step is the box that fits between the little pair of boxes and then the box that flows diagonally from that to the corner.

I might take a break and do the rays below the chevrons, though.  They will also make pairs of wings.  The next steps introduce black to the design, which means that all four colors (violet, black, terracotta and copper) will be in the block soon.
