New Art feels great

Making New Art feels so freeing. 
You may remember this piece from my 2009 post.

Tributaries Copyright 2009
I had so much fun creating it and I'm not sure how I became so sidetracked that I didn't do more of them.

Now I am getting excited again about this direction of work.  The above photo is the back of the piece and the below photo is the finished piece mounted to mat board.  It all came together nicely from having just the right sketch to just the right fabric to showcase the sketch to the beads and the mat board.
This will hopefully be going to a gallery in New Hampshire; and, as with all my work, there is a small bit of me that wants to keep it.  I just love it!  Now the hard part of naming it......

Come see what some other artists are working on here.  This is a weekly art blog hop called Off the Wall Fridays.

'Til next time:)

    I know that beginners wonder why people work in series - this is exactly why! You get a piece that's interesting in its own right but you think there is more there to study - so glad you revisited this - its great!

    Good job finishing your UFO! Wahoo! I love the shape of the piece and I'm so glad you included the photo of the back. It's hard for me to see the quilting on the front but from the back I can tell it is beautiful.

    This is a stunning piece. I do much the same thing and have an incredible stash of gemstone beads to work with. I love your work.

    What a pretty piece. I love the background you have put it on. It really enhances the piece.
