Snow in Del Mar


My challenge #35, Snow in Del Mar, is in the yahoo album and on the blog.
I cut the snowflakes out of sheer crystaline, metalic netting, holographic , and sparkle cotton. The small flakes are beaded. The background is a metalic knit.
My colors of nature are deep midnight blue and white.
19"x23"
This was a really fun one...thanks Wendy!
Comments as always are appreciated :-)

Cherie, I am so glad I zoomed in for the close up on this one. Your quilting is wonderful, and your snowflakes really sparkle. It must have taken a lot of patience to cut the snowflakes in such a delicate pattern. Very lovely!

I echo Joni's comments. The up close look shows such wonderful detail and the quilting is awesome. It is a joyful piece. You can tell that it was fun to do. Did I mention, I love snowflakes.

A nice cooling off with this piece Cherie, it is just great. Lot's of radial symmetry. You have a lot of patience cutting out those snowflakes.

Hi Cheri,
Snowflakes in summer...how refreshing! What wonderful detail. Nicely balanced, too, with the placement of the white flakes.

Love the use of a knit...who would have thought it could be so lovely. Nice work and way more patience than I would have to cut out and stitch this much detail.
