Here is my first panel for
"Home is Where My heart Is"
with the background in place.
I've taken a lot of time to
have a little "think" about how
to add anything else to this.....
My first impulse was to just
leave it be...
For years I have been saying
"Why cover up lovely fabrics" when
presented with a collage challenge....
But....
I decided that if I am EVER
to learn anything about layering
I should see what I could add and
still have it remain meaningful to me...
Here is how it stands right now...
with my additions pinned in place:
It has taken me many iterations to get to this result....
So much pinning and unpinning...
😔😕😒
I added more to the fancy dishes theme
and the mushrooms...
I really love that red teacup fabric and it was
difficult to cover any part of it up
But...
I did...
[layering, right?]
right side
and
left side,
across the bottom areas....
here:
Along the right hand side, more mushrooms
and butterflies...
more fabric across the top...
including my little blue,
fabric ruffle...to pick up
the blues in the main image...
I still have that central pink spot
and I may just kantha stitch it into
swirling cloud shapes...
Now that all the background is in place
[I cannot believe that this is
JUST backgound!!]
I will be adding more embroidery and
beading...
************************
Below is my "heart" panel with the
addition of a central butterfly and
the needle and pins embroidered
with glass beads as pin toppers...
will stand out a bit more...
Here is a little closer look at the butterfly and
pins and needle...
on this today, but my hands
have told me to S T O P !!
That is my progress on these for now....
I think a few days rest is in order...
hugs, Julierose,
La Blageuse.
