off the wall

Finally! But not really finally. It's sewn together but bugging me because something is wrong with the proportion. Too square. It doesn't want to be square...it wants to be a rectangle. So, playing around on photoshop last night I tried cropping it a couple of different ways to see where I should cut. Here it is as a diptych, albeit a bit far apart on the screen. Oh, did you want to see what it looks like as one piece? Hold on a minute...

The weirdest thing is that I keep thinking this looks just like Urban Nightlife, a piece I made several years ago and was sold. But when I looked again tonight, there is less of a resemblance than I thought at first. While some of the fabric is from the same piece, the palette is quite different. So what am I thinking?

I am thinking that it is time to go to bed and get ready for another day. Maybe I will have time to open my new electric frying pan and heat up some soy wax...

You're thinking that it should perhaps be a dyptich... but separated horizontally not vertically??

Vertically into a tryptich??

The Debs are thinking alike again -- my first thought was "how would it look divided vertically into a trytich?"

FWIW, I think it's more interesting as a dyptich than as one piece, and I don't think it looks overmuch like the previous work.

Hi Debs. Not enough space or content for a triptych with the right proportions...but we will see.
