Something way over the top

For the past few weeks I've been spending all my time working on very serious, very worthwhile pieces to show at the upcoming NEOS exhibition. And I'm getting a little tired of all those brown and grey animals and faded green leafy backgrounds, so I decided to break loose and do something really colourful and abandoned, but something which I could still use for the exhibition. So I modified an old design by adding lots of leafy fronds, painting a bright background and then stitching it out

Eighty-four colour changes!

It took me three solid hours and there were EIGHTY-FOUR colour changes in it, but it did make a change from all the sober wildlife portraits, and I hope will add some colour to my exhibition

  1. Mia, how wonderful, this latest design. It sure will add some brightness to the exhibits. Maybe you, will get some commissions from this next NEOS show. Eighty four colour changes “wow” but well worth it. GOOD LUCK.

  2. How bright and cheerful – the little bird’s plumage has been outdone! With all those color changes, it only took you three hours? Amazing. It would have taken me days just to stitch! After the exhibition is over, please show us your other works…I’m sure they are awesome and will impress everyone. Do you sell them there, or just show? Good luck and enjoy – I wish they would televise it for us!

  3. Mia, it is a wonderful design. But WOW, 84 color changes. It will be in the place of honor at the show. I agree, please show us some of your exhibit when the show is over.

  4. Hi Mia, Thanks for sharing another impressive and stunning design for your exhibition. It will be a lovely and colorful addition to your other pieces.
    84 color changes is a lot of color changes, but this design is definitely worth all of the extra time and effort.
