T'is done! The buyers requested a wind-blown pine, some birch trees, water and a canoe so hopefully I've given them all they asked for. This one ended up measuring 27x23" and included applique, machine and hand embroidery, organza, paint and colored pencil.
SOLD!!
And...remember those two fabrics I showed you the other day? They have been reduced to this...
Now, I wonder, what do I plan to do
with them next?
- I found the creations by THIS artist to be quite interesting...and beautiful.
- THIS would be a fun bag to own - and would make a wonderful gift too (note: you can click to download the free pattern and you might have to create an account, but there are tons of free patterns so it's worth doing)
- Some of THESE are really clever!
- THIS is a great thing with lots of uses.
Today's quote...."You may not always see the results of your kindness, but every bit of positive energy you contribute to the world makes it a better place for all of us"
I'm going to have to try to work ponderment into a post...I love it and I seem to do an awful lot of it. The results of my ponderment are not nearly as glorious as yours. I've been looking at this piece up close and it is so beautiful! Everything about it is just perfect and I also love the slightly larger canoe anchoring the right foreground in just the perfect shade of red. How talented you are!
ReplyDeleteawwww, thank you! As for the 'perfect shade of red' for the canoe, it came down to what I had in my stash because I wasn't about to go out and buy anything.
DeleteI love how your artwork came out--so beautiful and evocative...nice work hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteThank you Julierose. Now I can't wait to start on the next one.
DeleteBeautiful Landscape! Just started checking some blogs I follow. Haven't been doing this for months.
ReplyDeleteThe last link - the A-line organizer - I made this and quite pleased with it.
Thank you!
DeleteGlad to hear you like the organizer - it's on my list of 'wanna do's'.
Bravo! Gorgeous work!
ReplyDeleteOh my, those clever murals are a real delight. I like the on with the sky top.
Thank you May!
DeleteThe murals are amazing aren't they.
It turned out great! I love all the little stitching details you add to your pieces.
ReplyDeleteThat's my crazy quilting background coming into play - I just can't seem to help myself.
DeleteSherry of createology: Mary Anne this is a superb landscape you have created. You have done everything your client requested and how special that it is sold. Kindness Acts are such an easy thing to do for others. Our world could use a lot more Kindness!
ReplyDeleteI'm saying it's sold - maybe they won't want it??!!
DeleteAnd you're right, the world needs a whole lot more kindness.
Congratulations on your completion. I imagine there is stress with commission work, but it's sold vs the relaxation of creating a piece that might take a while to sell.
ReplyDeleteThe street art made my day. It doesn't take much to make my day these days.
You're right in that there IS stress with doing a commission. This one was a bit easier because it's for friends.
DeleteGlad you enjoyed the street art!
Hi Mary Anne: This is a beautiful design and the tree waving is perfect, your work is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank-you for the interesting links.
Catherine
Thanks Catherine - and glad you liked the links!
DeleteWelp, my comment didn't make it! I was just admiring your latest. I'm guessing the new owners will love it.
ReplyDeleteI won't know if they like it for another month b'cause they're away. (only got one comment from you...this one).
DeleteI made three! Blogger is playing around again. They'll probably show up in your spam at some point.
DeleteInteresting - still no sight of them and they're not in spam...at least not yet.
DeleteWhat a fabulous piece. Your customer will be delighted with this one.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope they like it.
DeleteWhat an absolutely gorgeous piece. You are amazingly talented. The customer will love it.
ReplyDeleteNow what are you going to do with that fabric???? I will be watching.
God bless.
Another beauty completed! It's wonderful to see the stages and the finished product. Looking forward to seeing what that pretty fabric will become.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy it's done and now it's on to the next one in my long lineup of possibilities.
DeleteOMG, that landscape turned out beautifully!! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteThank you, m'dear!
DeleteOh wow, that turned out beautifully! I don't see how you could have made it any better for them!
ReplyDeleteI hope they think so too!
DeleteCatching up, I'm jumping to your finished landscapes. You've done another beautiful job. This one is fun as well as lovely. I imagine it delights its new owners.
ReplyDeleteThe new owners are currently away on a camping trip so I don't know if they like it or not. I expect they will because they normally like my work.
