breakthrough

the nine patch piece has changed quite a bit; after cutting out the heart and replacing that with a circle/moon and basting the square onto a long piece of beige fabric, I added a new section underneath the original bit, with a kind of landscape and a 'dragon-cloud'. 

And having more doubts about the 'formal composition' I decided to cut away bits and add very thin fabrics, puffed up like clouds, to add another dimension to the whole; more might appear.  Piece started here, continued here

The piece will be two-sided, so really there is no front or back, both equally interesting. I also have an idea in my head now to make a whole new piece with the 'puffy clouds' as the starting point, also a two-sided piece.
For the time being I'm calling this piece The cloth of Change
