5 hours here, 3 hours there, over and over again.....eventually a project gets born.
The paper templates turned into fractured tree images.

Very, very cool! I love stylized trees and these are superb! Your work is inspiring me toward more thoughtful pieces. Thanks!
Lovely - striking, I came by from Woot Woot. I'm kind of new at link parties.

Very nice Quilting and design. Love the colours.

Love those trees!
Ohhh! The addition of the birds brings this quilt from really nice to amazing! Gives it just a touch of the whimsical. Love it.
Simply fantastic! I'd hang that on any number of walls at my house. Thanks for sharing!
your trees have worked beautifully and the little bird finishes the piece off so well
J'aime bien ces arbres très joli
FANTASTIC!!!!! Love the addition of the birds! This is wonderful, Mary!!!!
Great design and vibrant colors. The little birds are the perfect finishing touch.o
I love those tree shapes - they are so within the style you have developed for dealing with trees in a less realistic way. These reminded me of a conversation in that Sketchbook Skool class I'm still working my way through. A student asked the teacher whose focus was urban sketching adding watercolor how to deal with foliage on trees and bushes. Her reply was don't try to draw every single leaf but just work in the watercolor in the general overall shape. And that is what you've done here.
And that other idea you had - those birds! They bring such life and interest. Just love this.
