This page was created for the book called "Wild Side". I felt it was a bit dark but wasn't sure how to lighten it up without starting all over again. I created a spiral design with the words "wild & free" & various sized paw prints in my drawing program, & imported it into my digitizing program. The design was stitched onto gold fbaric which was layered over a background created by joining strips of black & green fabric & digitized leaves. Once stitched, the excess gold fabric was cut away to reveal the background. All the layers were then added to another background of brown felt with added brown fabric leaves.This is the last page in this book series. On reflection, it was great to go back through them all & see just how much I learnt. My main aim when entering this Book Page Round Robin was to learn about my digitizing program, but I learnt heaps about my drawing program & the power of photo editing programs, about layers & effects & merging two or more images together. I learnt not to be scared of computer programs, but to experiment & see what they could do. I also learnt not to be scared of FME, it was not as hard as I had always thought.
The pages have long since gone to their new owners, I hope they have as much fun looking at them as I had creating them.

Hi Jenny. I've really enjoyed seeing all your pages over the last little while, you certainly worked a great variety. It almost makes me want to buy a computer operated embroidery machine, but then I'm not doing as much stitching lately for many reasons so can't really justify it. I'm doing some more hand work though, catching up, VBG !! Hooroo,Christine
