The interweaving technique is something I learned from Nancy Eha.

I’m probably going to do both…extend the stitching *and* add to the frame. Just as soon as I can fit it in between other projects

I love how you interwove the beaded flower petals.

As to your question, I guess I am in the minority. I would like to see another strip of fabric like a photo mat to pull it all together. Then the petals which hang off the edge would look like an OOB (out of bounds) photo. I think that would be cool.

That’s exactly what I’m going to do…just get it un-lopsided if I can

Hi Cyndi,
Very nice! I like the elevated beading. I rather like the beads coming off the left edge as a petal and agree with Laura about extending the beading further to the left. It has a bit of lopsided look at the moment. I love it though.

[...] use as backgrounds for other projects. Part of the fabric piece shown below ended up as a small beaded quilt. For the next couple of weeks, I’ll be sharing some fabric painting techniques with you. [...]

Oh You Brilliant Girl!! That’s it! Extend those lines on the bottom, and I’ll have the balance that I think it’s missing. I love asymmetry too, but I need balance. Thank you so much for putting your finger on it!

I also like the flower at the left edge, but i find asymetry appealing. You might consider extend the beading at the bottom to the left edge. Or experiment with beading a few of the little bubbles close to the left and top edges? Something to accentuate the asymetric aspect might make it work for you. …Or, just enjoy it as it is

Thank you for your insight…I hadn’t thought of it quite that way before

I am not sure, since I cannot see it in real life, but I like the flowers hanging over the edge. It gives the impression that you are just seeing part of a larger picture, like a painting that doesn’t end at the edge of a canvas.
