I am so happy with it! It's heavily thread painted by machine, and then all the flowers were hand stitched. If you click on it to look closer, you'll see blues, yellows, periwinkles, and white. The big yellow and whites were the gigantic dandelions in the original photo. Their stalks had red running through them. There are lots of big french knots, medium ones, and even teeny ones in the distance. Here's some detail of my work.

I am so darn excited that I took the challenge of trying this one out. I've had my eye on that original photo I took a year ago. It just worked out so well. I have the perfect sage green matting and white frame. It really sings! I just have one problem. I simply cannot come up with a meaningful name for this one. Want to help?
Here's the story: it's a hard and weathered post wrapped tightly in barbed wire. The flowers are unaffected by that boundary. They are growing abundantly - all gorgeous and loose and full of diversity too. The have absolutely no order to them. I think of High Contrast, but that's not pretty enough of a name. Here is the original photo set in high contrast to bring out the variety colors you might not notice at first glance.
Any suggestions? I would love help with this.
Thank you!!

Monika, this is nothing short of breath-takingly stunning!!
name-thinking. . . Boundless something.... Unrestrained something..... Abundant Beauty..... ..... (I like how the flow of growth ignores that fence)
WOW this is truly beautiful. ...I absolutely love it.
Good suggestions for the name, I like the idea of reflecting your thoughts of no boundary.
Maybe that is it....No Boundaries??
Not Fenced In?? Prairie Garden??
It is wonderful, whatever you name it. :)
Fabulous! I go with "No Boundaries"!
hmmm... keep trying! So close!! : )
I want to steer clear of negative words like "not" or "no". hmmm...
I like Boundless. or Unbound. hmmmm... are those negative?

This is beautiful. I wish someday to do a landscape quilt.
Wild Flowers, Country Roads, A Spring Morning
So gorgeous! :)
My first thought was "Fenced In", but that didn't work because of the continuity of the grass & flowers. My other thought was "Not Always Greener" as in the grass really isn't always greener on the other side.
Oh, goodness this really turned out perfectly! I do enjoy all the wild flowers and the way you did the barbed wire! A name? How about Weathered Boundary or Barbed Wire Fields? Really beautiful!
My thought--before I read the comments--was "boundless beauty". The idea of boundless seems to be pretty popular here.
Really beautiful! How about "Sans Frontieres" ?
Wild Spirit, Free Spirit, Something Freedom...
What about Field of Dreams! I can remember as a child laying on a grassy field, watching the clouds drift by and dream away.
