This is so pretty! The combination of feathers and crosshatching are perfect with those pretty roses. Really lovely.

This gives me the depth of color with the dark on the edge of the petal. The light color in the rose petal is the background fabric. The fabric medium on the whole brush helps me blend the color gently to the background fabric.

When I practice or try something new, I like to have a usable piece afterwards. Since I was trying thread, it would not have mattered if the tension had been off and adjust as I went through the piece. It is a wall hanging.

Thank you. I am definitely going to use the uneven crosshatching. I love the texture. Your feather are gorgeous also.

BEAUTIFUL, Deb! I love your painted roses so much, and the crosshatching is just perfect in the center! And the feather is just lovely too. What a great idea to actually make a practice piece to fit the hoop instead of trying to fit a frame to the piece. I've got several hoops laying around waiting for me to put something in them...well duh! I need to trace them FIRST so I can use them like you did with this piece!

I really have to try my hand at painting some flowers soon; yours are just so lovely! I got some fabric medium about a month ago and have been too busy to give it a try yet.

Thanks for sharing another gorgeous piece of your work with us.
