Make a Wish

Quickly done. Simple fused applique, minimal thread work, cheesecloth "seeds' and glue on a fabulous fabric by Elaine Quehl. Measures 10 1/4" X 9 1/2 "

The best childhood memories are outdoors.

Oh, did this bring back memories! My dad spent a lot of hours digging dandelions that I'd previously helped the wind scatter and plant.
I love the way you made the seeds. Looks almost real. Congratulations on a wonderful piece!

Sue, really playful and brought back many memories of blowing those little seeds all over the yard.

I love the fluff! It looks like the view one would see while rolling around on the grass.... I's been a long time since i did that :)

I can almost feel the wind blowing! The way you handled the fluff makes the piece seem very realistic.

Hi Sue, great job...love that background fabric. My only comment is that I wish there was a bit more value contrast so the dandelion popped more.
