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.

Oooh it's just gorgeous. I love the shades of creams and whites so much. This is a keeper!

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.
Quite simply ----- Brilliant!!! Hugs, Terri xoxo
Absolutely breathtaking!
This 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.
Did 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.
EEK!!!! Oh my gosh, Trudi these are my colors, I adore this. So gorgeous!!!!

Love the many shades of white. I'm interested to see where you take it as you see a few things you would like to change. It is shaping up beautifully Trudi.
Oh yes, love the softness of this piece and the creamy whites! Beautiful.
I've tried all white before - HARD!!! but yours looks absolutely beautiful
Gorgeous, Trudi! All of the details that you have added make this one a knock-out ... wish I could reach out and touch it.
