You got the violun exactly right. Definitely a focal point without being overwhelming. She'll love it!
I'm most interested to see how you treat the background!

I made a larger screen of the image and printed it – first with the same transparent white and shimmery pinkish wing color. The more I looked at it the more it was too transparent so I used a brush to go back in with an opaque white.

Now I’m stuck at the stitching phase – there is so much going on in the background of this piece that it’s very hard knowing what to do.

Your instinct was right on regarding this piece and your solution was very elegant, and kept the subtle tone the client was after. Did you do this with the stitching alone?

Love what you have done with the violin.
And… thank you for my violin! I love it! I got the package today, oohed and ahhhed over the ATC.. then right into the DVD. Very, very good.
Some old, some new, but what I liked was that they all work. I did learn why I have so much trouble with Bo-Nash and the gray glue. The edge of the iron!!
I will use this time and again.. for new ideas, new thoughts…. new inspiration.
Thank you so much!!
