Thank you both for your kind comments. It really is intimidating to put something like this 'out there' for exposure. As for entering in shows, it would have to be a very specific venue with liberal 'rules'
because this doesn't have a 'proper' binding, etc. Will see. My aim would be to encourage others to give the process a try and this venue should serve just as well.
quiltnart, the interesting addition in the bottom left hand corner of the picutre is done by 'working' some bits of yarn and fabric on Sulky Solvy (in a hoop), free motion stitching over it to make it a unit, then wetting to disolve the Solvy. I added some beads after attaching it to the piece.
My friend, Linda Anderson (art quilter) taught me this technique. It's a signature of hers. She doesn't have a website (YET - I'm encouraging her), and she has dial-up service because she is rural, so doesn't have easy access to this. You can see some of her earlier works on Rosemary Eichorns site

It's wonderful to have friends to learn techniques from! Share what interests you - pay it forward.
