Choices....choices....

I am so envious of artists who can whip up a design, knowing intuitively or from experience what it will look like and that they will be happy with it.

This is not me.

Remember the background? That was a dead end.
After that, I thought the complex flowers I designed for my Shadow Applique book would be nice. I got quite a few ready to fuse on, but didn't like them.

Went to the simple flowers I designed for a project for Country craft Quilts. YEAH!! Happy with them.

Pinned them onto the quilt, thought I could do better, took them off again, made an arrangement where the ACE letters were on top of the flowers, thinking it would add a bit of depth. All it did was create clutter.

I had to step back again and admitted that the first design with the simple flower shapes was the best.
Also, this wallhanging is going into an aged care ward, simple shapes will be more appropriate.
 
 
 
 
 
Samples are not really in the right order. The bottom one was the first. ACE in the centre, flowers around it.
The second sample is the right top one: flowers arranged prior to adding ACE and in the first one ACE has been pinned over the flowers.
 
It is, more or less, back to that first sample.....
