Donna's Exquisite Corpse from round two has been revealed, see a few posts below for a view of the entire piece. This is a closeup of the square that I worked on. The black stitched circles are done using the circle stitch on my machine.
A closeup of the beading that I did. I really liked how the red beads looks on the black and white. I tried to emphasize the curviness of the shapes with my beading.
And this is the original version which I did without noting the color scheme that she'd requested. It wasn't written on the piece, but was on the online list which I'd neglected to check before beginning work. D'oh! Boy did I feel stupid. Luckily the artist I was sending to, Elizabeth, noticed the wrong colors peeking out from my covered up completed square and sent it back to me. I'm so glad too, because I like the black/white/red version that I came up with much, much better and it sure would have ruined the whole piece if one of the squares had been the wrong colors! Thanks again Elizabeth for saving my unobservant patootie.
I got to pick out allllll this machine embroidery stitching. It didn't take nearly as long as I thought it would, but I did muck up the fabric a bit. Hopefully the stabilizer I put on the back will keep the revised square together ok for Donna!
