Despite having issued the challenge, not a single advance idea of this piece came to me until Wednesday after it was posted!
I started off by going wild with the shape, then machine appliquéing a couple pieces with plenty of motion of their own. Then I dove into my stash of ribbons and trim, and twisted them around; they got sewn in with beads. This has to be the wildest piece I have ever made!

Here's Tobi with her interesting and unusual shapes again! This is a very lively piece. I really like that you used neutrals for the background so we can see all the fun embellishments. Lots of movement with the curves and diagonals...watch out, it might just fly off the wall!
Good work, Tobi...and thanks for the challenge.

I love it. I would like to get away from the realism that I tend to do and do things like that.

Oh Tobi, This is great....Maybe chaotic and colorful.... ever so effective and what a good example for us.... ' let your hair down' is what I am seeing here.
I am so glad you did a piece and thank you for the challenge.
