"Transformation" Sneak Peek

Our theme is Transformation/Change, and our publishing date is coming up fast!  I have an idea I am happy with; now to get it to conform to my vision by May 1st!

Here is the picture I am starting from, a spider's web strung with dew on a misty morning, with a close-up to show the detail.


And here are some of my supplies:
My "new to me" technique in this piece is couching, and I love it!
I used painted vintage linen in my piece for our "Nature" challenge too.

The comments you all made the last time, really helped me see the way I want to interpret this theme.  I am looking forward to seeing all the pieces on May 1st!

    I had a hard time with this theme. I chose an idea and procrastinated the start. Then the REAL idea hit me just yesterday. I'll be interested to see how YOU interpret this theme.

    Isn't that always the trouble? The REAL idea hits so late! :)

    Going good, enjoying seeing what you are dreaming, I have just rediscovered over 150 DMC number 5 embroidery threads all new of my mums that have been stashed for 10 years or more and using for couching too so was interesting to see you were doing it also. Cheers Glenda

      I had some boxes of threads and trims passed down to me this year too. It is almost hard to use it; you feel like it needs to be in something special and perfect. But I know the former owner would be glad to see them used!

      I agree totally and how happy the former owner would be her treasures were not chucked like so many are. .

    Hi Gwen, Nice to see your ideas.
    Have to admit I’m struggling with this one. I have an idea, although I’m not sure it’s really good enough!
    Look forward to seeing your spider’s web.
    Hugs,
    Barbara xx

      Well, first you have to ditch the thought that it's not good enough. This group is not about judging at all. Follow through with what YOU feel comfortable with. I seem to get a late start when I'm not happy with the direction I'm taking. Just work on what YOU want to...it's always perfectly good.
      xx, Carol

      Thank you, Carol and Catherine, for your support. Yes, I know what you mean, Carol, about feeling comfortable with a project, and, up until now I haven’t been sure about my direction, but I think I will continue with the idea as I think what I have in mind will be extremely useful to me in future.
      Thank you both again.
