Tuesday evening, I decided to add more machine couched threads and more decorative machine stitches. In doing so, I broke up some of the larger areas. Those were the places I kept looking at thinking "I will never fill in all these places." Now it looks quite manageable.
There are a couple of places where I am considering taking out some of my stitches and adding something else there. (yes I am seriously thinking about pulling out those hand stitches!)
Only time will tell.
I must mention that this piece looks very much like a landscape to me. It has the essence of one of my paintings. So, changing the medium doesn't necessarily change the artistic outcome. It merely gives it a new form of expression.
It does looks like a landscape picture and I have to say that it is wonderful, very soothing.
ReplyDeleteLove how its turning out!!
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed your progress on this piece. The curving lines do lend themselves to a hilly landscape, which is pleasing to the eye with its gentle curves. I like the variety of stitches, colors and textures.
ReplyDeleteVery, VERY nice, Gene. I also like the look of your blog header - i'm thinking it's new, or maybe I just haven't been paying attention!
ReplyDeleteI love this so much! It looks like a naif landscape painting. Bravo, Gene!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! It does look like a landscape...I love seeing this. Great job - you are rocking this project!
ReplyDeleteGene....I love it. I like the colors and the stitches. You can add it to something else too. You know me....I love the hand stitches :)

Very nice, I can't wait to see the finished project.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! You're right that it's landscape-like. I find many subjects/themes that I like often show up in my work in unexpected ways, too.
