Layout - Watcha think?????



I wondered if some of you lovelies would give me some honest opinions about this piece, I have added some copper and some of those things from the backs of Ellie's toy packaging. I have added some washers painted and couched on too. Now i want some opinions, I am not sure about it??? Thanks for your help in advance!

Well my first reaction was "Oh I like that", then I read what you had written so looked again.
I'm sorry but I still like it ;0)
Turquoise is my colour of the moment and I love it with copper.

I think it's great, I do love turquoise and copper together. I think though that it might benefit from a third color - maybe some black? Perhaps a border to provide some closure to the piece?

Lucky I read the comments first as I was about to say exactly what Sue has said. I'd darken the edges with black paint - probably sponged on so that you get a graduated effect. I think it would provide a great contrast and intensify the effect of the copper and turquoise. And because I love text I would stamp some text in black and maybe copper paint with rubber stamps on some of the larger turquoise grid areas.

I think it's a great piece - and clever of you to save those little plastic packaging pieces! I like the unexpected circle element you've added. My thought was that it could use a LARGE circle (or partial circle) somewhere on the piece to draw more attention to that element.

Debbi has already said it all :))
You won't go far wrong if you listen to her.
Go slowly though, you can always add more but you can't take it away!
These colours are gorgeous together.

I really like it!! The blue and the copper together look wonderful.
