I was so surprised at the difference the bigger size moon made to the overall look of the piece. Whilst I understand scale I've always thought of it in terms of much bigger or smaller and the moon was only slightly bigger but it had a big effect on the image. So, if nothing else, this has made me re-consider my ideas on scale and the changes they can bring to art work.

me too, I was amazed how changing just one thing changed everything. I had stitched larger circles around the little moon, which I didn't like, but I think it nudged me to the bigger version! It's almost be brave and just do something bigger than you think you should!! Like life haha! xx

Hello! Really enjoyed your video as always! I saw the exact same things as you in your piece before you mentioned the Cliff and Sea as well as some Rocks in the water. Was thinking much of the very same as you were asking what we see. I have been very sickly for some years now and just setting up my crafty space again with my felting machine and sew machine. I have quite a stash of thrifted bits of fabrics, yarns etc to experiment with. You're such an inspiration and I hope to begin a project very soon. Thanks for sharing!

We went to Sydney (two days drive from Adelaide) taking out two dogs, luggage, presents, etc. so a packed car. We were glad to return home for New Year and had a lovely quiet evening together. Your piece looks like the sky, cliffs, sea, and then darker sea coloured by the sky. Can't wait to see what you decide by next week. Have a lovely week, regards, Nita

Congrats on the rebrand, I will take a look - nothing like a fresh start is there!
