She chose a black fabric from an old outfit sitting in my stash.
I can't seem to do small appliqué flowers--just can't bend my mind to it.
It occurs to me that this type of interlude between huge projects is my way of playing. Since I do poorly with sketchbooks and journals, such pieces serve as studies in line, form, and materials, a place to explore.
The owner keeps wanting me to stop. Fortunately, she likes each addition, because I still have to go around the neck and over the shoulder. And yesterday she handed me a pair of pants with a spot and begged me for another small appliqué flower...

Aha, I understand, this will go back to the owner. You know, I would put in a red spot somewhere (excuse my maybe inappropriate meddling). It seems your business is going on....
Love

First of all - are you going to do one for me?? grin - Secondly - that you would take a little idea and run with it (who would have thunk?! grin) AND last - I need to send this to my teen - this would make a hugely awesome T-shirt graphic - she's starting a business for charity this summer!
I love this so much better than a little appliqué flower!
Looks great! I love how it wraps around from the front to the back.
Of course you can't stop yet. So beautiful!
I absolutely love your "liberated applique" !!!
I'm usually not a big fan of applique, but you really make me want to give something like this a try.
Your work is amazing!
Your work is beautiful and very unique. I absolutely love the shapes you have come up with. The flow of the applique over the top really draws the eye over the piece.
I really love your work. I would never have thought of doing a piece like this. Rosemary
What a lovely "spot" it ended up being!
Fun idea!
I want one, too.
This is coming along beautifully! Reminds me of Maori tatoos...
Very inspiring. Love it!
My dear Nadia, I'm so glad you overruled your "client" ;-)
(she is too ! handing you another piece to get your stitches in !)
When I see it opened up it looks like some lean animal jumping down from the schoulder !!! No doubt it will change again when you carry on ....
Haha I love that you can't do a flower! This is so much more interesting than a flower! Glad you were able to overrule your client - you must know her well - and keep adding. I do like the asymmetrical-ness of the shirt so far!
Wonderful as always! Your work has such a wonderful organic quality to it.
I'm not surprised your client wants another small appliqué flower. That first one is stunning!
Love how you play. Much better than a sketch book.
This is fantastic Nadia....so much better and more original than a flower. I'm glad your friend appreciates it. I thought of tribal tattoos too.
i really like the line work
