Mountain majesty

 I had too much fun making this one too!  The embroidery took awhile and I know it's hard for you to see the dimension that most of it has, or that I added glitter to the snow-topped mountains. 



  And here's a closeup of the embroidery so hopefully you can see more detail...



"MOUNTAIN MAJESTY"
measures approx. 18x23"

FOR SALE!

- There are lots of links HERE for making pincushions in pretty much any shape you can imagine.

- HERE is something you might like to try doing.

    Yes, I think you have to see this piece in person to appreciate it best. Especially the embroidery.

      It's difficult to get a picture that shows the dimension in the embroidery, for sure. Wish you could see it in person!

    As always I made your photo bigger so I could see the stitching up close and it is so beautiful. My goodness, what a talent you are! I'm here struggling to keep my string machine stitching straight while you are creating art!!!

      Hah - the entire reason I don't do 'sane' quilts is I can never keep my stitching straight. With landscapes it doesn't matter!

      Thank you Catherine. I hope it sells too but if it doesn't, it will just reside in the pile with all the rest.

    I love the way you have the landscape spilling out of the frame! Leads the viewer right into that valley :)

      Thanks Quinn. I often like to have something in the foreground, just because I can!

      Thank you Sherry. Yes, it's too bad we're so far away - just think of the trouble we could get ourselves into!

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
