I don't know what to say about this except I think it needs something else but I don't know what. The snow and mountains are textured.
18-1/2" x 14"
In real life it is a nice rectangle -- my picture is wonky.

Hi Betty, This is a lovely piece...I like the combination of the shaded colors with the bright blue sky. The texturing on the mountains is fascinating...is the wrinkling just ironed in or was there stitching involved?
As far as something missing...how about a faint crescent moon on the right sky...like the moon you see sometimes during the day
Great job!
Cynthia
Thank you, Cynthia.
The moon sounds good. I was thinking of a sun but thought it would be too harsh.
I don't know if I should make any changes to it now or not. I put it on Flickr and someone has fallen in love with it and wants to buy it..
Oh, to answer your wrinkling question, It was ironed in on the mountain. I had stitching in the snow but took it out after everything around it was sewn down.
Betty
I like your crinkled mountains. Are they hand dyed? Great colors. This is a very nice piece.
Thank you Linda
No, not hand dyed. I had photo transferred something onto dry clean only paper backed fabric a long time ago - don't even remember what it was now - I run across it the other day and since it was the right color I decided to krinkle it. There was an awful lot of ink in the sink.
Betty
You could also add some small animal or bird in the foreground and maybe even carry it over into the border a bit to tie the two together. I like the effects you achieved. Did you use Misty Fuse to get your crinkles?
I love your mountains. Very nice.
Thank y'all.
No, Jan, I just used plain old Wonder Under.
Betty
I also love your mountains and the colors you chose. Good job!

Great mpuntains!
Oh I agree...Neat mountains! This is a technique I will certainly try!
