Pictures

I'm half thru with my second attempt at the Irish crochet (IC) butterfly for my lace picture mat. The only problem is, I think I made so many errors and changes that I'm not sure I can make the other side symetrical! There is another problem, it's too big for the corner using the size thread I used (size 30 thread over 4 size 10 padding cords). For anyone not familiar with IC, it is a form of crochet that has a 3d effect often using padding cords (pc) under the stitches to help them pop out and also to add shape. I think my next attempt will be with a size 70 thread and 3 size 30 pc). I'm done for today, tho.
