I probably shouldn't repeat some of the things I hear, but SOMEBODY told me that the graphic looks like a chicken that got flattened in a horrible road-crossing accident. I have assured this person that the "Thunder Chicken" will look better once it's all embroidered.... Hopefully it'll look more fierce, at least.
So I ripped out all the chain stitching and replaced everything with a 2-ply backstitch. It looks much better, I think...
And here's a close-up of the head:
And the wing:
I didn't get a lot of embroidery done last night because after work, Zig and I both got massages from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
madisonmassage as our Christmas present from the lovely naughtyaelf. And after we were pleasantly beaten into little puddles of slow-moving-happy-muscle-ooze, we were off to see Nick Klein's television premiere on the Ultimate Fighter. Yay, Nick! (Zig produced/edited his audition video which came out looking pretty sweet.) I'm sad that they didn't televise anything but the last 15 seconds of the fight, but Nick is a sweetheart, so I'm glad he got to be on the show and get the training that he did. He looked completely stoked. Everyone at the party was wearing either UFC shirts, or the fancy new Twisted Fitness t-shirts that Zig designed. Zig was completely wriggly with joy that his friend Nick got to be on national TV and that people chose HIS t-shirt design to wear as a show of support for Nick. And I was pleased that everyone else was pleased, though sad that Joe Lauzon lost his fight. (I apparently have some kind of perverted fetish for guys with ears that make them look like Curious George. Joe Lauzon and Forrest Griffin are just adorable. And funny. I approve. They aren't *quite* as cute as Maggie with her ears turned inside out, but it does explain why my favorite endearment for small children and doggies is usually "monkey face"...)
