Fresh - GnT
I really struggled with this theme for some reason - inspiration refused to strike. As usual, I was saved by my husband who suggested that there is nothing more fresh on a summer evening than a gin and tonic! It's rather a murky gin, but I was really pleased with the bubbles! Fused fabrics, stitched before and after layering. Cheers everybody!!

Cheers! Love your piece and more especially your lemon slice.
ReplyDeleteYour stitching adds a wonderful dimension to your piece, Linda. Makes me want to dive right in!
ReplyDeleteClever - both your theme choice and it's interpretation. The piecing/stitching on that lemon is very effective.
ReplyDeleteSanté!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful workmanship. And you've conveyed the feeling perfectly!
Well, I hope you treated yourself to the real thing after that to celebrate. What a super piece. Love the lemon and the bubbles. Hope you're pleased.

Love the way you have depicted the gin, ice and lemon - stunning interpretation and one I would find really difficult to convey. Well done.
ReplyDeleteHA! Your are so right, there is nothing more fresh on a hot summer's day than a G and T! I started with trying to convey a glass of lemonade but I was stymied on the bubbles and transparency...you conquered both beautifully! Cheers, Linda!
ReplyDeleteWhat a luscious lemon Linda! A very fresh take on our theme!
ReplyDeletei love the way you have juxta-posed the black on grey and vice versa for the bubbles - makes it very realistic. your stitching and the way you have cut your fabrics makes it very believable. i like it linda
ReplyDeleteHow FRESH! I love all the stitching and especially around the bubbles. Cheers!
