If at First You Don’t Succeed

Ta-da!  It worked.  Plan B is better than my first botched attempt!  (Click photo for a larger view.)

Sheer Blue piece with border

I’ll add some hand stitching to the border/background part, attach the two portions, and this piece will be complete.  (Although I think I’ll rotate it 90 degrees to the right.)

I’m making this piece to swap with a friend.  I planned to mount it onto a stretched canvas, but she thinks she’d like to put it into a shadow box frame.   (So, my part is almost done.)

Now for a name.  Hmm.

    Is this the colour of the waters off the Florida coast Ellen?

    I live on the east coast of Florida and our water is not this pretty. However, it is in other areas of the state.
    Still, the white parts remind me of frothy waves, and the reflective parts sparkle like the water.
