Melange a trois completed!


It's 9 pm and I just finished. It has two layers of timtex it in, so it can stand on it's own. It has labels and a sleeve, that you can't really see in this picture of black.
I did finished the edges by wrapping them in fabric with fusible on it.

I haven't been in the mood to post for a while. I finally drank some creative juice and came up with my title and description for the Melange a trois challenge.

TITLE:
"Michelle, your problems are bigger to you because you're closer to them."

DESCRIPTION:
"The bold red, blue and yellow triangles, which are the basis of formation for all colors, relate to human emotion and it's innumerable complexities.
The waves of achromatic black and white, which represent humans psychological 'right' and 'wrong', add more complexity to the mix and are neccessary for both color to flourish and for people to determine ethics.
The beading represents that proverbial thin line of grey; which, as I've grown old, isn't 'thin' in any instance.
And if you believe all that BS I have a bridge..."

How's it lookin' Good Lookin'?

So far this is how it's lookin'.
I need two white glass beads that are slightly larger than 3/16ths, more around 7/32nds; to be where that white bead is resting. On the picture above they would go on the black bottom ribbon, inbetween the red and yellow triangles.

MCQ's Melange a Trois Challenge

I'm still here! I've been busy coming up with my melange a trois piece for MCQ. So far it's called "Primary Colors" just because I had to turn the entry sheet in on Monday at MCQ's meeting and it had to have a name.
What it really is, I have no idea. I'm just makin' it up as I go. I actually had some of the red stitched with embroidery floss but I took it out because...as usual...I start getting the 'real' ideas after I've started. Ya know, the "Dang, I shoulda"s.
My current plan is to keep going with the stitching, and add black and white beads to the curvy edges of the black and white. After that my "I shoulda" turns into "I dunno".
I'm thinking of adding timtex and finishing the edges with a zigzag like I do the postcards.
