I transferred this at original size for those Readers who wanted more detail. This is how the work is going so far. The lizard just below the mountain now has an eye. The little house has become more enhanced. Happier. Lots of things are happening in the lower half now that I don't need a "beast" down there.
I am liking the lower third a great deal. I am now wondering what to do to "balance" the center which seems to be "lifting" too much to the right and is "too pink".
Nothing I can't layer another color over and continue stitching. Lots of thread work here.
Other women who work with fabric and thread can agree--as the work goes........you learn. And what you learn is sometimes better and sometimes just learning. Finally in the bottom third I am making progress. Letting go, I think, of preconceived ideas of what the work "needs".
Now I need to make the top two thirds work with that lower third. Beginner work. More advanced work. If this was a work on paper (of words) the delete button would be used. On paper with a pencil--the eraser. On canvas with paint--a layer that covers all. In oil--the still moist paint scraped off. In fabric---the scissors. We'll see.
But I am 55% happy with this. And will continue.

I'm liking it, nice to see the lizard got an eye! : )
Love where you are going with your piece. I think that experimenting like this, especially at my age (72), opens up many possibilities. Keep enjoying...
