After realizing that hanging the leaf only would involve issues not unlike the first three. I have decided to have the Giant Arbutus leaf on a background. I will piece it into the background or appliqué it depending on my level of sanity and frustration at that point in the process. I do have a deadline of sorts Sept 25 ready for the FAN retreat. I don’t want too much pressure in that regard so I’ll give myself the week before so I stay vaguely rational!
So here are my choices so far. Some are with the leaf some not but I think you’ll get the idea! Please let me know what you think!
10″x70″ maybe stripped?
Not sure if the darker increases the drama?
Analogous colour to the greens in the leaf ..different blues.does it give the leaf the drama?
Love this full sun-printed piece I may not want to cut it up!
Although I really love this piece of fabric it may actually pull the eye away from the focus piece! But I do love it and may never cut it up!
Hmmm try to ignore the folds I was playing with ! Does this colour work as background? I have lots of it!
So I have a variety colours of backgrounds as well as value. Please let me know both what value (light or dark) works best in your opinion? Also which colour works best so far?
I will be back in my studio by the weekend so I am looking forward to your input!
