shadows

Had a pear on the table this morning and was captivated by the shadows cast by the overhead lights - think I need to darken th shadows a bit more but this will do for the time being  -  I could do another I guess and see how it goes.

The shadow lines  and patterns could be echoed very nicely in appliqué and  stitch  - I should try that too I guess :-)  I haven't posted much embroidery of late but have been working on a number of pieces for an exhibition which opens at the end of the month.  For more on this visit the MAPS link on the side bar.
