ATJ Skyline,
originally uploaded by Pinyon Creek Stitchin'.

This pic kind of gives an overview....I wanted to get closer shots but its not cooperating. This show the piano I appliqued on with a clarinet, fiddle, saxophone and some notes floating. I also embroidered the skyline of New Orleans depicted in the evening and placed a tree of life in the center to show not only the fruits that are a necessity for life, but music notes that are the heart and sould of this city. Then you can see the swamp with the cpress trees and spanish moss hanging from them while a heron and "mud bug" hang out. There is a magnolia in the top right and wisteria in the bottom. I'll try to get a better pic up later of that as there is an iris...a state wild flower there. This particular image is cultivated but similar in appearance to its wild cousing and I thought it appropriate as its called Hurrican Party!
