The finished piece

Well I have finished my piece for my 'Sumptuous Surfaces' class with Sharonb.  I think I should have taken a simpler design.  The one I decided upon was very intense.  It was so linked to emotion that this was reflected in my stitching.  Interesting that.  To see the links between how you feel and what you produce.

I found it difficult to represent water and ended up using layers of sheer fabric, colour on colour, and then folding it to give the impression of depth.   I think for my next piece I will keep away from things that I have an emotional attachment to .
