May...Heather, I have been enjoying your art pieces. May I ask how large they are and what do you do with the finished pieces, do you sell them, hang them, give them as gifts?<br />Ann B.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00287759119622258389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021283387517994326.post-51066766322756435542013-03-09T07:42:03.109-08:002013-03-09T07:42:03.109-08:00I always look at your pieces smaller- on your blog...I always look at your pieces smaller- on your blog and also as just a thumbnail on my desktop- and larger- I open them and stretch them a bit so I can see as much of the detail as possible.<br /><br />When I see this one smaller, it is hard to discern which of the blue and black is mid ground and foreground, depending on how my eye focuses, it could go either way.<br /><br />Seen closer to it's actual physical size though, I would say you accomplished what you set out to do. <br /><br />The white sits nicely in the background with it's small stipple stitch. The black strips prop the blue swirls up, and make them appear as if they are floating on the top of the piece. I think you made that happen by quilting the white within the swirls as an echo, rather than continuing with the stipple. <br /><br />A warmer color for the swirls might have made them stand out more, but it would have been a less soothing piece than it is now.<br /><br />It seems very tranquil to me, even despite it's boldness.mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11556867473316439509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021283387517994326.post-12053823473547388692013-03-08T10:49:31.921-08:002013-03-08T10:49:31.921-08:00At first glance, I thought of music!
