This is the first challenge I've met since joining last year. The stars were aligned, I've been working with sheers for a few weeks now! I painted the green for the wine bottle, found that white organza was too sheer for the glass so backed it with gray. Added burgundy for the wine between the two layers, using wonder under to keep the fraying down. Quilted the pieced batik backing before adding the sheers, then just edge stitched them down. The upper left corner seemed bare, so added a fussy cut "picture" with some brown for frame. Did a little stitching for highlights, and used fabric paint for shadows since I hadn't thought about how else to do them before the stitching was done! It was a fun exercise and I will continue to explore sheers. Thanks Sandy!!! And I hope to keep up from now on!
