I have another thing to blame on you and sort of on this quilt. storm_seller was saying that while she likes my geometric patchwork pieces, she can't really appreciate them in the same way that she can pretty pictures like this one.
So I was thinking that it would be nice to do a more applique-ish picture piece, and it might be nice to work on a smaller piece for once too, and I started browsing through my ancient history books which is where I generally find inspiration, and I started doodling last night when I couldn't sleep and I think I've come up with something that'll be pretty awesome if I can pull it off.
Except it's sort of a triptych with each panel about 24" x 60".
Yeah. What was that about small projects again....?
I'm basing it on the Ishtar gate into Babylon, starting with the Marduk dragon and bits from the wall of flowers. <3 that blue!
I have almost none of the materials, so it may have to wait until I have money again, but it will happen, oh yes :D
(My netbook is almost entirely ded, repairable for nearly the cost of buying a new one, so I may not be on MSN as much at present.)
