Here is another finished project ...I am calling it.."Splendor in the Grass"

"City Lights"

I hardly know what to post first...I had a giant "finish these" !!! weekend and finished a bunch of pieces that get to the almost done stage ...and then my attention has been caught by some new creative idea....so I really worked hard at staying with it!!! This piece has hand dyed backround...that is hot pink....paper, sheers, and an image of the lights of the sity of Beaverton, taken from my sister's coffee shop, I like it!!!
