Autumn at Cranberry Flats, 2012 |
The leaves, most of the bushes, and the rosehips are all done with needle in hand. Any bare spots in the machine-stitched grasses were all filled in by hand. I love it! I spent over four hours lastnight on the handwork. I've taken so many photos of it, but lastnight was - well - night. Today is dark and blustery and rainy. This are pretty close though.
Now I'm off to clean it up and finish the edges. This piece will be for sale at the Centre Galleries in December. I'll keep you posted.
Linking to TN&TN for WIP Wednesday! : )

OMG, Monika, this is my most favourite piece that you've made, ever!
I don't know how much your pieces sell for, but could you let me know how much you're selling this one for - and if I can afford it (maybe even if I can't!) I'd like to buy it - unless the gallery has that "must be for sale" clause...
Wow, I am amazed with every piece you do. I love this one....I love all of them!
This piece is really special, Monica. And since I do a little thread sketching, I know just how talented you are!
Monika, wonderful! it would be great hanging in my house, but I will let Kit have it -- this time!
besides I am really poor right now...hahahaha
Wow! Wow! Wow! I always adore your work. This is my very favorite...I love it
Breathtaking! Love this piece!
Wow Monika!!! Your creations are amazing!!! I would love to see a comparison of your earlier work to the ones you have made recently to see how your work has developed and changed!! Good idea?
Fabulous piece!
Gorgeous, Monika. How big is it?
Hi, Monika, I loved this work. You are an artist very fabulous.
Your designs, sewing and stitching are simply fabulous! This is so beautifully done!!
That is absolutely incredible! Like Kit and Susan, I'd love to own it, but my budget would be unlikely to stretch that far. Amazing work!
