#BirdOfTheDay theme today is #shadesofgrey. I give you greylag geese in the grey fog on a grey day. It's all a bit grey in grey, but hey! You were asking for it, right?

I love children's art at the local shows, always so unexpected! Here one of my all time favourites: Leonard Bernstein's ghost conducting Berlioz' Sinfonie Fantastique (my interpretation, others may see something else). Fit's today's #NightmareNov brief #grotesque to a tee.

Last touches done and I'm wearing it. Still not blocked. That will even out the stitches a bit whenever it happens. Probably when it needs a wash. Surprisingly soft too! But then, I'm practically impervious to the scratchiness of wool on skin.
