"Jellyfish Dream"- Pastel with mixed media

Whew! I finally got this done. Sorry the photo is terrible. I forgot to take a pic before I had it sent to the framers. So this is taken with reflective glass... ugh! oh well. Jellyfish is in pastel on ArtSpectrum paper. The background is acrylic, and the embroidery is with white sewing machine threads. I'm starting to really like this method, although a bit time consuming then just drawing images straight on the paper. I guess I'm currently tapping into my old-fashion self, where I like to use threads. From the fact that I can hand and machine sew, knit and crochet...just like back the in days before computers (GAAAASSSSP!) This piece will be shown at the Santa Cruz Art League's "Small Wonders II" Show- Dec. 15th through Jan. 6th. This should be a fun experience for me. Great opportunity at the Art League to showcase work.
