Griffin Cap Done

I finally made the draft. The threads are laid too densely. I see that there's a lot to learn about this kind of embroidery to master it:)

This part's what I call combing:-) At the beginning you have a chaotic mass of threads, at the end they are laid nice in rows. The technique is well explained by Racaire (refilsaum). I made the tiny stitches after every second thread. In my opinion it would have been better to change direction of the threads at legs. Next time..

Combing is fun. You just have to get through all other work to get to it :-/
