The Beginning of the End

The Beginning of the End

Somehow, Blogger wouldn't let me upload this weekend.  I wondered if I had loaded my blog up with too much, but how could that be!  Now it looks like its back to "normal".  

I am uploading a piece I did in a Fran Skiles class at Quilting By the Lake.  It is a mixed media piece since it has canvas, silk, and paper in it.  The effort and concentration it takes to develop a piece like this is amazing. I lose all sense of time and all I can see and think of is the work.  

Sometimes a piece calls for fully saturated colors and at other times I just want to go subtle.  There is color in this piece, but soft notes.
