Artist's Comments

A tropical landscape for Betti. :wave:

:trout: :trout: :trout: :trout: :trout: :trout: :trout: :trout: :trout: :trout:

Hand painted/dyed background water, free motion machine stitching to create corals, synthetic fabrics for seaweeds and anemones, beading and a commercial fishy print.

I made this to teach students how to create things like corals and plants from free motion stitching onto solvy or organza. Its been a popular workshop. :)

I'm so, so mean, Sue!, because I opened it in a new tab so that I won't increase the views count by an embarrassing number with clicking in every three minutes. :blushes:

This makes me crave for two things.

1., It.
2., Being one of your students! It's incredibly beautiful and so fishy! :trout: In the good sense, of course. =P I'm so jealous now.

Also, I already decided I'm the chubby little red fish in the middle. :shh:

It's so, so beautiful. I need to study it for more now if you'll excuse me. And if the views count increases, that's obviously no thanks to me.

:glomp: :glomp: :glomp:
