Happy Monday!
It's been over a week since my last post, and since then I've made some pretty big progress on Medieval Menagerie. To see the dramatic change, here's my last WIP update picture:

Got a good look at where I was? Good! Now here's where I made it to since then. Drum roll please...

Hurrah! Got a band finished! It's amazing how much stitching time you can get in when you put on a podcast or an audiobook.

Those stags were so fun to stitch. For the next band, I decided to start on the right hand side, so I would start stitching the Unicorn first.
When I think of Unicorns, I go down this train of thought about the TV series Inspector Lewis and Italian Renaissance painter Paolo Uccello. The Wikipedia page of his painting The Hunt in the Forest has this tidbit that makes my train of thought make more sense:
The painting is featured in the "Point of Vanishing" episode of the British TV series Lewis. A postcard of the painting is discovered as a clue to a murder. Lewis and his colleague visit the painting at the Ashmolean Museum on more than one occasion and are instructed on its significant features by a museum expert. The painting provides Lewis with an insight that allows him to solve the case.
Where do Unicorns come in? I have no idea. But that's how my brain works!
This video is amazing, and fits nicely with our Renaissance theme:
