Another finish!

 


~~FOR SALE!~~
"All Alone In The Prairies"

Inspired by a photo by Dale Stewart,
used with his always kind permission

Measures approx 27 1/2" x 21 1/2"

This is the inspiration photo...

- I came across THIS resource that some of you might like to explore.  I know it's not craft-oriented but there are tons of topics that might be interesting.

- Have a peek through the creations of THIS artist.

- And THIS one too!

- Or, how about THIS one?

- And, just because you never quite know what I'll find of interest, how about THIS?

Today's quote is by Friedrich Nietzsche..."And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music"

    1. We had good weather for our trip but it sounds as though our family is going to get rained on big time this week...we timed it right!
      Thank you - glad you like the landscape.

  2. So true, that quotation. It hasn't taken long to complete the latest landscape. The hexies work so well.

    1. I was more than happy to find a use for the leftover hexies and had just enough in the right colours to do what I needed.

    1. Yes, the weather certainly was in our favour for our trip and must say I'm glad we're not there now because of all the rain they're getting.

  8. Your "All Alone In The Prairies" is beautiful, Mary Anne. You really captured that truck in your fabric and stitching, and the embroidered flowers are wonderfully sweet. Your blue sky really makes your landscape pop!

    1. I simply can't resist adding embroidered flowers to the landscapes I do - probably a throwback to being a crazy quilter for so long.

    Sherry of createology: “All Alone in the Prairie” is so wonderfully created by you dear. So many creative artists in your links. I am intrigued by the broken dishes. Interesting quote…I always hear the music and begin dancing!

    1. Thank you Sherry. Must say the broken dishes were definitely interesting. Good use for what we would normally throw away.

    1. I like adding flowers and don't feel that a landscape feels 'finished' without them.

  12. Still trying to catch up with your posts - glad you had a nice visit with the littles and their parents. I love the way you've extended the design beyond the borders on this one putting your vision into it. i've seen those tulle embroideries before and continually marvel at them. I wonder how those beads are so finely attached - the ones that are not directly on the subject but just flying around them. Makes me want to see the other side for reference. You always find the coolest things.
