Even if you never do a photo again you have done a superb job on this one.<br /> I think almost all 15s was a good choice (of course I love them too) they allow you much greater detail than 11s do.<br /> I feel great joy when I look at your piece. It is a quieter joy than Lisa's piece but it makes me feel very happy. There is a calmness that comes over me viewing it, It is like the first moment that spring creeps up on you and says look at me and you become one with nature.<br /> As always your work is beautiful. <br /><br />Love, AngieAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17962319168316028443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28049265.post-74941438664115604092009-06-14T12:09:54.160-07:002009-06-14T12:09:54.160-07:00An amazing and intricate piece - with or without t...An amazing and intricate piece - with or without the poem.

I can hear the sound of the waterfall and feel the spash of the water on the rocks. I think that your sensitive treatment of the water is my very favourite part of the piece. I'm a very visual person and this takes me back to many happy places. But woman, all 15's??? You must have spectacularly good vision and a ton of patience. Either that or a very strong magnifying glass.

Are you insane? ;-) This morning I took a walk with my dog when I got off work & instead of walking through the neighborhood, we walked through the field & I stood as mist came up over the little creek between our neighborhoods. It was so pretty & serene with all kinds of vegetation and bird. Then a big heron swooped down & landed in the creek. We both stood there quiet (which was amazing as usually Fiona barks at everything), but it was nice to just BE a part of the scene for a moment.<br />dotflyingbeaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14552477017906406473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28049265.post-84874065839919997822009-06-10T07:33:46.981-07:002009-06-10T07:33:46.981-07:00I do love both pieces but have never been even tem...I do love both pieces but have never been even tempted to work from a photo or drawing...it's the improvisational aspect of bead embroidery that thrills me and I'd lose that following another image...that's also the reason I've rarely followed a pattern of any kind during my years bead weaving.beadbabe49https://www.blogger.com/profile/08270938730730250964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28049265.post-80730554829414165772009-06-10T06:54:02.391-07:002009-06-10T06:54:02.391-07:00Robin, when I look at your piece I think "ric...Robin, when I look at your piece I think "rich."

Secondly because all the movement of the tumbling waterfall and the rushing flow of the stream and the fresh vitality of the skunk cabbage that you speak of in your poem is evident in you beading.<br /><br />Also, I really like it :-)<br /><br />CAcoral-seashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876196936807771078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28049265.post-11738201334361079122009-06-10T03:03:45.933-07:002009-06-10T03:03:45.933-07:00Whenever we stretch ourselves,it's always inte...Whenever we stretch ourselves,it's always interesting to me what we choose to retain and what we choose to leave behind from the new experience. I admire your interpretation of your photo and the poem captures the spirit of your walk and your admiration of the waterfall that you pass by so often.

I feel the elevation of the piece and that the water is moving down from a high place, hitting rocks and being redirected -- just like a waterfall...just like us...<br /><br />and I know that isn't an easy thing to accomplish...nope, not easy at all...congratulations xo SusanSusan Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18094024834053351944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28049265.post-1032055895997652822009-06-09T23:25:47.445-07:002009-06-09T23:25:47.445-07:00GORGEOUS!
