How about adding a bit more quilting or hand embroidery and stretching it on a frame? I think it deserves to be finished.Debra Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14959081275116311853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283357405837154878.post-29321402944369920602010-08-31T11:24:55.116-04:002010-08-31T11:24:55.116-04:00I actually really really like this.

I do hope you will come back to it, for I see much beauty in this one! Have you thought about doing some hand stitching? Using embroidery thread would make it move quickly and could be an interesting effect. No matter what you end up doing with it I think it is a beauty. I also love the crackles and even the smudges. Gives it a wonderful aged look that contrasts nicely with the contempory colors.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02166011380454448476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283357405837154878.post-79625114865086870582010-08-31T09:49:35.071-04:002010-08-31T09:49:35.071-04:00I feel for you!

I have been there and I think we all have. <br /><br />There is a chance that this could still be saved and I love the colors and the perspective of looking up at the buildings from the water. However, after all this, if you are like me, you may want to put it away for a while now and come back to it in the future when you feel creative about it again.<br /><br />Thamks for sharing, we all need to know that we are not alone in our disasters. :)Barbara Strobel Lardonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08314713622021695107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283357405837154878.post-75173692670750235582010-08-31T06:09:25.810-04:002010-08-31T06:09:25.810-04:00Maybe you should just sew a very sturdy backing pi...Maybe you should just sew a very sturdy backing piece to what you already have, then requilt around what you've already done and keep going. You could quilt some brick shapes into the bridge and/or building, I think all it needs is more quilting and it would look absolutely wonderful.

OK, that's not quite it but you get the idea. I see what you are pointing out and I know if looks bad to you but.........I'm not so sure.<br />What if you did some actual painting with fabric paints? The silk backing looks good in some places and not so good in others, right? What about adding appliqued silk patches to the backing. Who says it has to be one piece. What about creating an appliqued design on the backing? I'm offering up these suggestions because I really like what you did. I know it was a LOT of work, A LOT. And, I know you are sad that it didn't turn out exactly like you would have liked but it's still really cool. Honest, would this face lie? :)BeaBeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05825249325749004937noreply@blogger.com
