Forest Muse

she is finished and hanging on my wall. ( well, o.k. the sleeve is not yet attached but will be soon ) I love the irregular shape, not too far off but a bit organic in feel. The chenille yarn edges add a wonderful softness to this. I am very happy with this one.

It's lovely, Karen. The hand stitching adds the most exquisite texture.

What a wonderful, rich piece. And those edges are fantastic -- great idea.

Beautiful!
I'll bet you're glad it's finally finished so you can just sit and stare at it for a while.

FABULOUS! This is so beautiful and rich looking. Love the intrigue of the woman looking out from the forest.
The chenille binding worked perfectly!

Peeking out from among the leaves - she is beautiful. I love the irregular shape, this stitchery should be (and is) free in its form.

Absolutely charming in all ways.

Karen, this is almost beyond words fantastic. All the textures and colors, as well as the composition are so very appealing ... and so very well executed.

As well you should be. She is gorgeous. I'll bet she is even more stunning in real life. What will you do with her now? Into a gallery or have you already got a buyer for her? Fabulous.

Gorgeous! Very etherial. I love the edge treatment and also that it isn't exactly square.
