This photo does not, at first glance, look to be different from the previous post, but it definitely is. While I liked this piece as it was in the last post, after discussing whether it needed more with John, I decided to extend the fuschia lines throughout the piece (and this is not inferring that John talked me into this). The result is that the spareness that I liked is now lost; the piece does not have the clean, uncluttered appearance it formerly had. However, John says that it looks "finished" now, that it has another layer of interest and subtle value added. The change has been made, and it is not reversible, so I will live with it, but have noted to listen to my inner voice when it tells me that the spareness appeals to me.

I like it both ways. I think this is a case where both work but one may be preferred over the other. The fuschia isn't as obvious from a distance, at least in the picture, so that invites you to come closer and see all of the detail.
I have to say Twila that this is a really beautiful piece.
I like the fusica lines but I also see why you prefered it without. It can be very scary to leave large empty areas and very tempting to fiddle with them.
Maybe you could make a similar one and leave it a little sparer this time? It could be the start of a fabulous series
I like both of them too. I wonder if the overall size is what makes the first one seem better for you than the final result? It's sort of like a room. A big one can carry more decor but in a little room, more is too much!
Looking forward to the next one!
