Oops. Now What?

As I mentioned in my previous post, I wanted to make a distorted sheer blue piece to serve as the background/border for the piece in progress.  I did just that, but I forgot to take into consideration how much it would shrink when I melted it.  (Click the photo to see a larger view.)

Blue sheer with small border

Darn it. 

I don’t  have enough of the blue sheer fabric to try again, so I’ll have to go back to the drawing board.  (I keep telling myself that these sorts of issues often yield results that are better than the first attempt.  We’ll see.)

    I like the way this is developing Ellen. These situations are all good learning experiences & the creative thinking comes to the fore.

    Thanks. And since posting this, I attempted Plan B, which turned out better than Plan A. I love it when that happens (and it often does.)
