I love this piece Elizabeth! That big flower grabs my attention immediately. I had to look for the color before I realized that it was the mustard yellow. I love the painting on this one! I can't see the part that is 3D--I'll have to wait until Friday:)

As for your questions--the orchids are the print from the napkins. I fused them to felt and free motion stitched them, then cut them out as slips and placed them over the branches. I only tacked them partially onto the background, so that I could arrange the edges to make them 3D. It will make better sense when you see it on Friday.

I was thinking that we could do some of this layering stuff you have been doing on Friday. Do we have to have a design idea before we start? I don't have many ideas floating around today in my head.If we could actually complete a couple of layers that would help me figure out how to do this magic that you are doing.
