Taking advice

Thanks to My Camera and Me: see comments on previous post.

I have used the automatic selection tool and it got most of the image. Then I used the 'Inverse' command and this is the result.  Is this what you meant??
Anyway, I like it.

But I will have to let it sit there a while before I decide how to use it.
I do have a challenge coming up, for a tapestry group. So I will have a think about how I would weave it - if I can weave it.

But thanks for the idea.

On another note:
The Machine Embroiderers Group met at the Embroiderers Guild, Victoria today.
November is our month for displaying some of our work.
We have had the monthly challenge, Inspired by ... (various artists). Only a few of us have done all of them so far (one person has even done next month's one - overachiever that she is). So I was able to put my other group's Inspired by Van Gogh pieces in too.


Inspired by - Hundertwasser, Mondrian and Salvadore Dali


Inspired by - John Olsen and Degas

Inspired by - Van Gogh, Monet and Hans Heysen

Inspired by - Ainsley Roberts, Warhol, Miro and Matisse.
I have hung my small Matisse-inspired piece on a slant, due to my not knowing the best orientation. Twice, people tried to straighten it! So I expect it will be 'fixed up' by the time I see it again.

I think that I would prefer to see the Grevillia in a vertical orientation perhaps.
I'm glad that you like the inverse selection, it's always fun to see how it ends up.
I use the magic wand a lot with this type of selection.
I'll be interested to see how you proceed with a tapestry weaving of it. A very difficult project I should think!

Don't hold your breath waiting for the design! It is just a germ of an idea at the moment.
Thanks for the opinion, I will have to make a decision at some stage.
