Whoop! Bang! Less than two days, and it was pretty well done. I may add some tiny silver beads at the tip of the grasses, and it has yet to be bound, but here it is. The background is vertically pieced strips of white, silk, cotton and polyester satin. It was completely quilted before it was very lightly painted with grey. Then grasses and the mist were fused in layers, before raw edge machine stitched.
My concern is that it was too easy. It just came and now sits there. My work is usually far more complex and far more colourful. This is grey,white and a tiny bit of grey/green in the grasses. I almost feel that it is a bit of a "sellout", as I feel it is very marketable,but is it really done from my soul.
Please, please--comments and suggestions. The most basic question--is this good enough for exhibition?

HI :) I've read this post only now but if I may I'd like to put in my 2 cents :)
I like this piece, I find it interesting, with a sense of slow motion, like seagrasses under a calm sea, and the light background makes me wonder what there's behind the mist.
That said my eyes keep going around without finding a place to rest. May be you could add something like a more defined focal point to give to the eyes a place to stop. :)
I like it.
