Rethinking Color Choices


I loved the panel I embroidered on the deep red silk. I picked the red to carry over the red from the roof top on the casket front.


But I didn't like how the colors worked together on the side. They 'matched' but they didn't flow.



Using the same basic design but a different background I started over.


Much better.

Another Mountain View



There are 2 different views of the Golden Rule Mountains on the casket. This is a new view, the mountains on the side of the Prince. In front of his mountains is a grove of trees.
The mountains sit on the lower frieze of the casket.



Above the mountains is a tapered panel on the casket. I have been experimenting with Italian Wire Mesh and combining it with the silk 'Cordon' from the Frosting Club treasure box.



This is as far as I got on that panel.



The other side of the casket holds the mountain view I've shown you before. 

Again I have used the Italian Wire Mesh and Cabinet of Curiosities supplies for the background scene.
