Autumn Cape 2017 A Long Term Project Night time Pocket Part 1

As with every part on this project it all begins with an idea. After some musing I decided that the pocket would this time have a Mole depicted on it. Therefore I had to try and draw something that resembled a Mole.

Rough Mole Drawing

After several attempts I ended up with this rough sketch. My rule of thumb is if people can tell what it is supposed to be then I am on to a winner.

Rough Mole on Chart Paper

As you can see in the above photo I have transferred the large rough Mole onto chart paper. The Mole at the bottom of the page is a scaled down version. The one at the upper left hand corner is the trying to get the measurements sorted. The one in the upper right hand corner is the final one that has been squared off.

That is the relatively easy bit. Unfortunately if you remember I said that I had made some mistakes when counting and my Badger had wobbly legs. This means that I cannot rely on my chart except as a rough guide. This poses a problem.
