new beginning

I have used this piece for two challenges - this one and the the Haiku group. I hand dyed the background fabric, Painted the egg and shadows, thread painted some of the shadows, felted the clouds, and once I got a chance to get into it I had a great time doing this challenge. Thank you for the inspirations.

Pat Havey.

Great perspective on the hand which I think is very hard to do. I also think the shadow on the egg is very effective. Great quilting and the lower right corner of the background almost looks like a shadow from the arm that you can't see. Great job and great use of color. Veronica Von Zwehl

Pat,
This is a very strong piece and a lovely concept! I see the detail better when I block out the stark white of the computer monitor. The angelina was a great touch!
