Suz-- Late Stitching

Once upon a summer's night, two people declared their love and shared their wedding vows beneath a glowing super moon, surrounded by family and friends, all standing amid a beautiful winery. Pink roses flanked each row of grape vines, their soft scent perfuming the air. The grapes were not yet ripe, but glowed in the moonlight with the promise of a bountiful yield.
This is the scene I am trying to portray in Wedding Piece #2.

 Sorry I'm late posting, but I wanted to finish the first group of leaves.......

6 of the 7 leaves are shown with clusters of beads.......

5 leaves are stumpwork, 2 are applique

hmmm, do the beads look like grapes?

how about like this?

 I hope this looks like grape vines

more branches and leaves may be needed

 but perhaps with fewer grape clusters, or ones that are not so evenly spaced...

the bigger picture

 I considered larger clusters of grapes

 perhaps it's a bit too heavy a look....


what do you think?

This is the super moon in the upper left corner. It was huge, bright, and had a golden ring around it

the moon shone down all night at the wedding

considering the placement

I think I need to make more stumpwork leaves

curlicues are in the plans, too



Thanks.
