I think you could easily add "rusty" to your list of go-to color combos like green and purple. It doesn't look like you struggled at all.Kristin Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05955546754675680404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-7116022472647636162010-11-01T11:30:42.694-07:002010-11-01T11:30:42.694-07:00I love your shrine style pieces and this is no exc...I love your shrine style pieces and this is no exception. There always seems to be the perfect amount of interest going on to keep my eye looking around and the sheer flowers add so much to this.Terri Stegmillerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12937147195403484110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-58092777977411212302010-11-01T09:31:11.570-07:002010-11-01T09:31:11.570-07:00I really love what is happening in this piece, Deb...I really love what is happening in this piece, Deborah. So many of the elements and motifs are familiar from your other work, but the colors and the rusting and the fraying edges give this one an aged and mysterious feel. I can almost imagine this as an ancient textile, recovered from a tomb, rich with symbolism and story. This may be my favorite of your pieces so far, and I love them all!Terry Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16650965451863656517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-73634934614769590022010-11-01T09:07:38.867-07:002010-11-01T09:07:38.867-07:00This made me smile when it came up, Deborah.

The sheer overlay adds a wonderful contrast in scale and a sense of depth. And as always, the way you add stitching to tie pieces together is very inspiring. I love this a lot. (I sort of see what you mean about that solid sky at the top, but it does read sky. I wonder if the slightest bit of texture added -- via very light stamping or something like that) would eliminate that? But it doesn't distract from the strength of this at all.Diane Perinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447372718275554860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-50074203864997963782010-11-01T08:58:07.069-07:002010-11-01T08:58:07.069-07:00Your hand stitching always makes me happy. I love ...Your hand stitching always makes me happy. I love how it follows a curve or dances across a piece of fabric, tieing the piece together. You have used a lot of fabrics with the theme colors and in a very effective way. I think the top acts as a place for the eyes to rest and then move back down. Kind of like the sky.Gerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06292762162661584206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-63541146063813693332010-11-01T05:57:07.693-07:002010-11-01T05:57:07.693-07:00Deborah, I love all the frayed edges, it goes alon...Deborah, I love all the frayed edges, it goes along with the rust idea perfectly.
