Setting up for the next thing

I took some time over the weekend to get ready for the next embroidery project.  

I found my fabric and got the basic volcano transferred.

Last time I did a kids artwork as an embroidery, I copied too much of the drawing to the fabric.  It meant that in the end, some elements didn't quite work how I wanted them to work. Some things were done just to cover up the lines.  This time, I am going with the basic drawn shape and will fill in the details by simply following the drawing itself. 

I am really looking forward to this flowing lava fiesta.
