A Winter Night's Fantasy

A Winter Night's Fantasy - It was a cold and dreary winter. One night, while watching the Australian Open, I experienced an intense craving for sun colors. So I went into my studio, selected fabrics and put the background together. Then I spent the next few weeks figuring out how to bring it to life. And then I put it away for a while. This summer I watched the French Open and Wimbledon and worked on beading and embroidering it and now it's finally done.
