11 - ? I am at a pause on this piece. I really like it so far and I am not wanting to ruin it. I am waiting for final inspiration.
Probably wondering why you're getting comments on older work -- I'm a newbie and was hooked when I saw your gorgeous tree quilt. Am just going day by day through your archives and enjoying them thoroughly. I think this piece looks wonderful as is. Am wondering if you developed it further? I have so many old recipes and would like to do something with them. Have never tried mixed media but would like to when I see how they can be incorporated in projects like these. You're very talented.
ReplyDeleteJamie, Thank you for your interest in my work and for giving your feedback about specific work. I did go farther with this piece - added a layer of watercolor metallic in a gold color. I thought it would be very transparent, but it was much more opaque than I expected it to be. It is at a standstill as I put it aside. I will probably work on it again this winter. When I do so, I will reference this post and show my steps as I go forward. I am learning a lot with this process!
