I have changed my original challenge by using some of the suggestions from all of you wonderful artists. First I added blue net oveer the red background then quilted it a lot more. Then I outlined the birds within the bird so as to better see the tesselation. I am happy with the results. What do you think?Pat Havey
Hi Pat, I added your original piece next to your reworked piece so that we can really appreciate the differences. It looks wonderful (and a much better photo, too) The quilting lines add interest and movement and I love how the blue netting toned down the red. The hand stitching and edging emphasize the folk art feel of this piece ...very nice!
ReplyDeleteI always admire someone who can go back and do some reworking...it takes courage and persistence, and you can learn so much. Good job!

Hi Pat - I am amazed at the difference your changes made to this piece. The darker background helps push the featured birds to the front. And all your quilting adds a nice touch. I really like the hand-stitching and how it emphasizes the bird shapes. Great job of taking some suggestions and making them your own.
