TrainTracks or Funky Silk?

Can you see the end of the tracks yet? Honestly, the pressure is on and the chuppah is still a work of art in progress.

You're looking at the beautiful raw silk I happened to have in my stash. Guess what? The colors worked well - so into the chuppah the silk goes.




Modern art, you say. Perhaps. Maybe an "S", maybe a "Z", Maybe an "X" ?
It's whatever you want. (Actually, it's loose silk threads that keep unraveling, ugh!!!





Strips of raw silk waiting for display. Very difficult to work with, but the chuppah said," Bring it on"!!






I've been pretty diligently working away. The creative juices have been flowing and it finally came together with the striped fabric and the zinger lame. I just finished piecing the eight corner insets and hopefully I'll be able to sew them into the center this weekend.

Take a look............
