I'm not sure this is going well. One problem is having too many photos of doors for inspiration. Attempt 1 involved one of my favourite doors; our own front door. That got rejected as too similar to previous work. Attempt 2 involved taking several doors and combining them into a single image; too bitty so rejected. Attempt 3 got a lot further; this time an enlargement of a single part of the door. Rejected three-quarters of the way through the sewing; too many little problems cropping up with the attempts at remedying them making the whole thing worse, plus it was too static. So glad I started on this challenge earlier than ususal. Attempt 4 involves the same image as attempt 3, but hopefully without all the errors/problems. I have my fingers crossed this one makes it across the finish line! I hope everyone else is amnaging better than me. In the meantime, here's the image of our front door, just for fun.
