Christmas

    I like your question. Sometimes I think about womens lives in the past and how they were able to create little spots of beauty with so little. Their limits made them stretch in ways we normally dont because we dont need to.Your piece will be wonderful. And I hope I understood your words correctly?

    I would say, if that is all you have to work with, you lucked out. It is gorgeous. I love the tree and the forest .. I like the other ideas that came before. I think with a little stitching you will have a Christmas cloth.

    It is already beautiful, grace. I agree with Marti on the bells – for tiny hands to touch and jingle. Will this be for your little holiday visitor?

    It already is because it incorporates a winter landscape with the backdrop cloth then the bits of color, especially the green – sigh. But if you feel it needs more, maybe a bit of a surprise with a few tiny tassels wrapped around tiny bells and pine cones…or a bit of stitching to echo garlands across the cloth.

    Its already beautiful Grace. To me it is looking like one of those little roadside altars from central american cultures. Not that I have ever seen one and Im not sure that is what they are called. Probably saw a picture in National geographic many years ago.

    I love these layers and cant wait to see how you make this come alive. I also thought of a temple when I first saw this… and then the hidden tree jumped out at me! Youre well on your way to a beautiful holiday cloth!;~) Debi
