Sponge painted paper under black chiffon form the sea for my Floating Chromozomes. Yarn is couched over painted fabric on one siide and free-otion quilting over dark green satin on the other side. Yarn is couched onto the surface and a fiber wrapped plastic straw is added to the free-motion surface. My third challenge and I am learning so much from my endeavors and those of my quilting peers.

WOW!! What a fun piece. Great use of beads and couching.
nice work, good color combanations. love the couched straws at first look i thought they were beads
Very fun, Jane... I'm going to have to play with paper in my quilts too..... the muted colors in the background are very interesting.
Jane this is very intriguing - it seems to glimmer and has the feeling of constant movement. I would love to see this in person, it has so much texture and allure.
Hi Jane
You certainly accomplished the look of floating! Your straw bead is awesome...lovely.

Great look to the background with the paper. This must be a detail shot, how large is the piece?
I want to try those straw beads, looks fun!
Thanks to all of you, the piece is only 8x10, but have framed it in a shadow box giving me the effect I wanted. the paper is sponged with iridescent acrylic, giving it the glimmer. Thanks to you all
