Here’s a little peek at the process of assembling an inlay/overlay design. A design this complex requires much thought about how the pieces will be shaped, which parts will go over and which will go under, and what order they’ll need to be put into place. It’s always fun when you turn it over and see that all the small oddly-shaped bits have come together to create the picture you intended. Stitching will link the floating flowers and leaves, and add the final details to the scissor tail bird.
