All the parts are beautiful and the color is perfect, but I think it feels just slightly unfinished. Or maybe I have just come to look for the "Deborah" pieces. Yes, it is a departure.Terry Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16650965451863656517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-59072439039617910372011-04-12T16:14:13.978-07:002011-04-12T16:14:13.978-07:00I agree with Vivien that it has an Asian feel abou...I agree with Vivien that it has an Asian feel about it.

The thread tails are a great touch too.Terri Stegmillerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12937147195403484110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-56618670894065396572011-04-12T14:00:21.853-07:002011-04-12T14:00:21.853-07:00I think it has that elegant simplicity of some of ...I think it has that elegant simplicity of some of the Asian designs -- though why I think so is beyond me since the colors are so bright and wonderfully saturated. I really like this and hope you do more with straight lines... as opposed to curves.. because I think you use them successfully.Vivien Zepfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10110439402332926588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-15842309505861297172011-04-12T12:10:19.305-07:002011-04-12T12:10:19.305-07:00Looking at the works you have created for the chal...Looking at the works you have created for the challenges in the Colorplay series, makes me think that it fits right in. You have continued with a strong linear element, this time with a focus on the horizontal. A great way to use scraps that are too beautiful to discard. I would definitely deem it a success!!JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03555603872823681712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-83697763135105446792011-04-12T10:40:54.320-07:002011-04-12T10:40:54.320-07:00It's very Deborah, while not being Deborah at ...It's very Deborah, while not being Deborah at all. Like chartreuse, it represents growth and change! I think it's great that you are approaching what you love in a different way.

The lines lead up to a place of order and calm at the top (those aligned sequined squares) and how your curvy lines create that protected space around them -- I really do see this as very much a part of your use of themes, although in a bit more abstract sort of way.<br /><br />And of course your use of color and line is superb as always.Diane Perinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447372718275554860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-15061352149928369192011-04-12T09:20:12.890-07:002011-04-12T09:20:12.890-07:00It is amazing to me how you made a square look lik...It is amazing to me how you made a square look like a rectangle!! An optical illusion, I know. I really love this and like to think it is something I might have done. I knew it was yours because of the lovely curved lines at the top - sort of a Deborah signature. I love the simple elegance of this.Gerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06292762162661584206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-8288442032769600622011-04-12T08:57:20.806-07:002011-04-12T08:57:20.806-07:00This is elegantly, simply perfect - bravo!This is elegantly, simply perfect - bravo!stARThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306524017733691309noreply@blogger.com
