This is my interpretation of a picture that came around as part of one of those e-mail 'fwd' poems a couple of years ago. As the panel is (only?) 16"x18" I have simplified some of the details like the strappy dresses and changed it to 3 girls in honour of a friendship that has spanned many years and miles. As I usually work only on very small things this was a bit out of my comfort zone, but was a fun challenge. The came 'frame' was also my first attempt at soldering came since my initial course some 18 years ago and I managed to melt the point off the left lower corner.....but as it's just for me - I'm not re-doing it!!
Below is the original picture.

Beth, this is an absolutely wonderful panel. The artist in you is most evident. The workmanship is excellent (as usual for your projects).

P.S. (a few hours later): I cannot get this panel out of my mind. It represents so much happiness. As those three friends stroll along there is a sense of movement that prevails.

I love your version.

Thank you all for the kind comments. I thoroughly enjoyed creating this - and I think it shows! You're right Educate, it was the sense of movement that attracted me to the picture in the first place. It just seems to say 'look out world - here we come...' (Unlike nowadays when the hobble seems to say - 'been there - done that- got the ache to prove it.....') Never-the -less - still lots to do!!

It is just lovely - it has such life, your version even more than the original, I think.

I'm just itching to turn it around and see their faces!

This is a pattern I was wanting to do also. I was a little stumped with all the detail, but you pulled it off great

Have fun! Would love to see your interpretation! I'm a great believer in simplifying details wherever feasible to make the picture work without being too busy.
