Rethink

I could have called this post several things but the idea is the same. I looked at my tapestry today and thought that I could see a scene that was of a valley, possibly with a river, at sunset. That is not what I had been working towards!! But I like it.

So ... what to do? Leave it overnight, see what ideas I have come up with overnight (if any) and go from there. 

If I decide to go with the scene I am seeing, I will have to decide what to do about the rectangle that is already there, how to finish off the sky, what colours to use. But that 'shouldn't' be too hard. I have many photos of sunsets!

At the moment, I see that scene. But I have the blue frame within the image. What to do??? 

Will I continue with the frame? Will it make the piece a differnt size? (Yes.) 

Will it change the idea for the, possible, entry form? (Yes again.) 

I like the emerging image - and I don't have any real obligation to do the original idea. 

The blue frame is sewn to the inside part of the tapestry. If I decide to cut it out, it would be a simple thing to do. But I like the outside parts too.

Also, I am only thinking about the theme and entering the exhibition, it was just an idea to get me going. I have the spot on the wall where it will go, so I can do whatever I like. 

Decisions, decisions. Not my best thing. 

Another title could have been What a Difference the Light Makes. I have taken photos during the day and the sunshine has changed the image a lot.

The photo also changes the colours. I have yet to get a photo that looks like what I am actually weaving. This is adding to the confusion. 

I really do like the idea of how background colours change the perception of a consistent colour but that could be done again. I'll go and watch some tv, go to bed and then see what I think tomorrow.
