Handprint #2
Well, it's done -- the piece I've been working on for our upcoming Fiber Arts NorthEast exhibit. I like the concept, but the jury's still out on the final look. I was having a lot of trouble with the composition so I dashed over to Natalya's house for suggestions. As I laid out what I was working on, Natalya saw it from the side -- well, to her it seemed right side up, but I had thought it was sideways. We both agreed that looking at it from her angle made the piece look better. Who knew that turning things in a new direction could make such a difference? I'm going to have to keep that trick in mind.
In any event, the piece is done and ready to be mounted onto the exhibit canvas. I'm not sure I like the way the hand turned out, but I invested too much time in it to completely scrap it. I also think this would look better as a rectangular piece, but I didn't think that was conducive to the square exhibit canvas. But, this has given me some new ideas and I hope I have time to pursue them.
