anatomy of a sow's ear
Thanks for all your suggestions for this piece - especially the ones that suggested I donate it! In the meantime, last night I got busy with my rotary cutter and sewing machine and did a cut-and-paste, figuring I'd try that first. Here's the short version of the sequence from hopeless to something that makes me think there is hope for almost everything. You might want to click to get a closer look at these.

The process has changed the purple shapes: given them alot more variety in scale. Then there's the new activity, in "front" visually, of all those skinny lines.
As my flute teacher used to say when I practiced "What an agreeable surprise!" Congrats! and thank you for documenting the change.
Very exciting and what a difference a little bit of contrast makes. Love it even more now!
What FUN! All your editing, cropping, and additions as you progressed is interesting to observe. Thank you.
What a great lesson!
Tres cool. I love rescuing weird pieces by cutting them up and rearranging them.
wow...amazing what a little time and perseverance can do!
I like it...but then I liked it before too...but this is very, very nice. Of course Helene's hand dyes are the best! That red is perfect!
Rayna, this is very odd, because I checked out your blog early, early this morning and there was no text with this entry: did you add it later in the day or is blogger toying with us again?

Right you are, Judy. I was so tired last night I just posted the pix before I went to bed and then added the text this morning. You must have been up VERY early!
Amazing what this piece has morphed into. I like its new look very much.
I see your trees coming out again!

Great 'save', Rayna. I'm not wild about the solid red border. Too confining, I think.
