While I was home on my winter break I had a vision and I went with it. Then the break was over, went back to work, and left my vision behind. I was struggling last week and had to walk away from the wall-hanging. Pinned it to my design board, and just stared at it when I had the time, knowing it was not going in the direction I wanted it. Finally yesterday, I connected with the piece again and I feel I am back to my original vision; back on track.
The yellow in the pool was too bright and too intense. This meant the body color on the baby had to be even more so. So, I took the pool bottom apart and decided to piece the bottom with less intense colors and give it a "feel" to complement the hat. I didn't want a definite pattern to the bottom, so I purposefully broke the pattern. I think mission accomplished; need to finish piecing the pool bottom (need to add more rows). The olive green shading will come off. I will use Inktense pencils and thread painting for the shading on the pool sides and bottom.
I am auditioning new and less intense body colors.
