Reflection was my entry in the digital category in the AQU Journey Show. It won 2nd place. Mind you, there were only four entries. I took a photo at the NC Arboretum in Asheville last October. The leaves were magnificent shades of yellow, gold, and red. I turned my photo into a black and white and transferred it using an orange based cleaner onto cotton fabric in three different sizes. I used water soluble colored pencils to color the three transfers. The trees are pretty heavily thread painted in shades of brown thread. The judge complained about the fabric I chose for the background. Most everyone agrees it was a poor choice. That's what happens when you don't plan or give any thought to a project. It turned out to be a happy accident.
