Like good works of art it brings different interpretations and is powerful.

I love the diagonal orientation of your design. It really lends to the idea of flight and moving over the ground below. The last time I flew it was a sunny clear day and I could see the shadow of the plane gliding across the landscape far below us. Mesmerizing. That was the perfect final touch.Terry Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16650965451863656517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-12827064730836528882011-03-04T03:31:02.277-08:002011-03-04T03:31:02.277-08:00I considered doing an aerial view of the patchwork...I considered doing an aerial view of the patchwork Canterbury Plains in New Zealand but the earthquake made that a bit raw. A map is a splendid twist on this idea and nails the palette perfectly.<br /><br />I love maps too. The Brits have a particular attachment to their Ordinance Survey maps. You should check them out when you are in the UK although I'm not certain they have one for the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham.Brenda Gael Smithhttp://serendipitypatchwork.com.au/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-10343725554224204132011-03-02T11:17:17.161-08:002011-03-02T11:17:17.161-08:00A map never occured to me for this challenge, but ...A map never occured to me for this challenge, but you are so right.

Every time we would drive to San Francisco, my eyes were glued to the direction of the airport and all those planes landing and taking off. Love your results Diane!

I loved hearing about your exploration to find a way to interpret this - very creative to use the water soluble solvy. Your landscape has a very midcentury modern feel to it. Would look great in my living room!!Gerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06292762162661584206noreply@blogger.com
