I finished the third row of scales and started the lattice for the fourth row. This is a sort of eyeball it and decide in the moment project, but it's working up at about a third of the size of normal scales so I may end up needing around 27 rows of scales, as opposed to a typical bag's nine.

I sighed up for this come hell or high water though bc I have a vision, so it will be done.
