I've wanted to create a predominantly white page for a long time and a couple of weeks ago, I finally found the opportunity to have a go. This page hasn't found a home yet, and it may not as I really am fond of its overall softness. What I'd change next time around is the dandelions going to seed as they ended up looking more like just balls of ??? on stems!! And I'd change the stitching around the dove wings too. Come to think of it, I would also add more calligraphy words to add interest to the background, or maybe more layers of fabric... oh no....it's not finished yet. And I still might add a poem off to the right side. Practice is my best friend!
Here's the macros, followed by the final cloth collage and the original digital piece.

I'm breathless. I absolutely love this piece. I can't even begin to imagine doing anything else to it. Your stitching and embellishments are always so professional looking. It looks like you sew a lot of it by hand.
ReplyDeleteQuite simply ----- Brilliant!!! Hugs, Terri xoxo
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. I love the picture and I don't know, I rather like the ball with the beads above her head. It seemed to balance the long braid with buttons that hung down. Your stitches are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteDid you use batting on the whole thing or just select areas. I love the texture. :)Bea
White on white and neutrals can be so visually appealing. I can see why you want to keep it! Lovely.
ReplyDeleteEEK!!!! Oh my gosh, Trudi these are my colors, I adore this. So gorgeous!!!!
