I attended a wonderful workshop taught by Debi McManus-Plett... and this is what I brought home. I still have a bit of work, adding some spacers, doing a bit of coloring in a few spots, some "sewing" and adding a few embellishments.
This is a shot from the first few hours of class, laying out the pattern and figuring out color and texture. Thank goodness we had a pattern template to follow, is all I'll say. :)
