I'd always intended to make something textile-related based on the photograph, so this was the perfect challenge to carry that out. Didn't think that it would take me 5 years to get around to it though!
I had intended to do a lot more free-motion quilting on this piece but that didnt happen due to my sewing machine going hay-wire back in August. I put my machine in for repairs thinking I'd get in back in a week or two, but have now been waiting over 6 weeks for it! And my other machine doesn't really like free-motion work so had to quilt this piece using straight-line quilting. Luckily, straight-line quilting looks like rays of light...
This is the original photograph that I used for my inspiration:
I really enjoyed this first challenge, so roll on Challenge no. 2

What a very effective translation of your intriguing photograph. Shadows are never as black and white as they seem, are they?
Yes, it is an intruiging photo, but I love your interpretation better. I think the shadows under the balls are magic!
Wow what an interesting photo. Your piece has much more light and shading though. That's always nice - to actually improve a picture.
I worked from a photo too, I do like your stitching, looks great.
love the way you're all working together and some wonderful results!
