To dream to stitch

I have even finished the second challenge piece for the second lesson. I decided to turn it into a little hanging that will go on to my notice board to remind me that I should be sewing and not surfing. I don't think I am allowed to show the original that the inspiration came from. Suffice it to say that it was Sonnenbrandung by Ton Schulten. The piece here is very loosely in the style of Ton Schulten. I had been wanting to try out his style for a long time but as I am very much a quilter I have been reluctant to try what Ineke Berlyn does so exceedingly well. This challenge gave me the chance to try it at last, albeit in a different medium. The beads are made from a print out of the original painting.
