Before we get to those lungs, I wanted to give you a sneek peek. :)

So now, to those lungs...

Ella, as it turns out.

When I conceived this piece, my intent was to have foliage against this African evening sky, but after I'd fused down my tree and imagined the upcoming grasses and what not - I realized, that I couldn't resist adding something more friendly.

All of sudden, this little piece is about Ella - my little elephant who shows up from time to time. I imagine that it's bedtime for little elephants - and Ella's mommy is just outside of frame, coming with some nice grasses for Ella to eat.

So here is the tree, just lightly outline quilted - but I wanted to bring the background forward more, so...

I needed to quilt it more heavily.

Finished piece on Wednesday. See you then?

Generally, when I do a figure, I sketch him in my sketch book, trace over him/her with tracing paper, use the tracing paper as a pattern, and then cut out the figure on my lutradur (or whatever substrate it is that I'm using).

But that's a fairly laborious process, and this was just a little rabbit, so I decided to draw him directly on the lutradur this time. It meant that I had to draw him twice (I screwed up the first one), but it was still much faster this way.

And then it was time to paint. First I picked my paint palette...

You know the piece I was working on last week, when I made this lovely wing? I'm not working on that anymore.

I may go back to it at some point, but having painted and quilted the background THREE separate times (and these are not small backgrounds! They're all 60 x 45 inches) and stalling out on it realizing that they weren't appropriate for the other elements; I have decided that clearly, the Universe doesn't want me to make this piece right now.

So I have withdrawn from the show (well, the other two pieces will still be in it) rather than rush to finish it in time and turn in substandard work. I'll probably come back to it when (if ever!) I decide on what background to put it on.

In the meantime, when I looked at the most recent failed background and realized it wasn't going to work, I immediately saw this new piece, whole in my mind.

Can I repair him?!

Wow! It took so long that it feels like it was quite the saga to get here, but it wasn't really - it was just one billion stitches, a stitch at a time. :)

Okay, maybe it wasn't one BILLION, but it was a lot! (That pic is clickable by the way - click once to open it and then twice to embiggen - and will be MASSIVE if you want to check out the detail).

But speaking of details...
