Thanks! It seemed a little "beige" while I was working on it, but I guess it's more earthy than most of my pieces. And I'm actually thrilled to have it done ahead of the end of the month.

There is not much printed organza on this one. In the bottom right corner there is some organza -- the lotus pod with the stem. Then there is some sheer orange poly-organza fused on. Everything else is stamped or fused. The hand-quilting took the most time. I had to carve the lotus pod stamp and the nut stamp. I tried using actual pods and nuts, but they're not flat and don't connect enough with the surface. And I had to go buy special beads! Unbelievable -- fifty thousand beads in this house and not one was right for this piece!

I think James is talking about relations between people -- with this verse he is just finishing a discussion of the evil that comes from the tongue, and the difference between earthly wisdom and heavenly wisdom. But I suppose since I have applied it out of context that it could be interpreted in light of Jeremiah -- especially with regard to the evil that comes from the tongue -- the deceptive words that Jeremiah keeps warning about.
