    This is beautiful Sharmon! I could have sworn I left a comment on your last post--it's not there, but I wanted to tell you I like the other side as well :-)

    Thanks so much, Deborah! The left side wasn't finished yet, but will be soon and then I'll finally put it all together.

    and gorgeous. Your work continues to evolve in such an incredible way - I'm happy for you!

    This piece seems to be growing...I mean literally, like in a garden. It's got that kind of energy. Love all the textures, layers, tones that make up a visually engaging composition.
    And on the other side, I love how those cookie-cutter figures disappear along a line of perspective; and how one of them has a petunia for a delicate skirt. Fun!

    I like the stitching too, there's a movement to this piece that carries you 'round
