Below are some images of how I work. I have a busy desk with all my threads at easy reach and the bobbins carefully placed in the bobbin case otherwise the mass of threads makes working tricky.
The image has been loosely traced with a blue water-soluble pen and then the fine detail and colour are reproduced through careful copying of the drawing which is shown on the iMac.

Here is a close up of me sewing - the work is slow and meticulous and I think harder than the Bristol 2 Litre Engine that I made in 2014.
The right side in progress, the blue pen marks can be seen on the dissolvable fabric.
Throughout the process I am constantly think about the next stage of the project: perhaps i might just draw the front of the Stuart Casket and then I can make sure that I have time to complete the image of today's teenage play. Should I keep to a similar colour palette so that the pieces might work better together or simply be to true to the time and keep the colours real?
