Your piece really captures the imagination. I definitely see the serpent and think of the Garden of Eden when I see it. It's so easy to imagine it slithering... as your use of color and design has really made this come to life. This is a beautiful work of art and you should definitely enter the contest IMHO!

Absolutely enter it. We are always our worst critic. Trust in your ability and share it with your community. Thanks for sharing with us.
As for your DH, my DH took 5 minutes to realize the quilt my Mom made for him was an Elvis quilt, and Elvis is "the bomb" to him. Men don't quite get it all the time. On the other hand, I couldn't tell you what he's doing when working on the car, either. :wink:

IMHO..heaven could be represented by curvy flowing lines and hell could be straight lines such as stitch in the ditch and outline snake aka dividing line a couple of times going out about 1/4 inch or so each time.
