  Terrill and Rakesh,

Thank you. My husband (who likes abstracts) currently has this picture as his desktop wallpaper. The background is the tan faux suede and the object is a hook for a hanging candle holder.

Best,
Rachel

  Well, you've certainly crafted a beautifully artistic image from a simple set-up!

  What a strong image! Perfect title, great contrast, great golden tones, just stunning! No wonder he has it as a wallpaper, you should print it out and hang it in the gallery!

  Terry,

Thanks. I tried to make the background look a bit like a desert (looking down) and used orange tones on the TV to reflect onto it. I had a few duds (too yellow and too light) but kept this one as I thought it captured the sandy orange-tan of a desert.

Best,
Rachel

  Lori,

Thanks so much. When life gets a little less busy, I think I'm going to experiment a bit more with images similiar to this in scope. I do need to pick up a few more fabric pieces though.

Best,
Rachel
