starting over

remember my frustration with the water meter ornament? 

i made a trip to my lns this weekend determined to turn this canvas around. luckily, my mentor diana was in full agreement that it needed something more. we both agreed on beads for the stars, but she suggested maybe introducing a color variation to the mix. 

here's what we chose.

i absolutely love the olive green memory thread for the crescent moon and beams. diana noted that the actual water meter covers are full of gunk and grit from being on the streets. the olive really works well with the background color and brings another level to the piece. 

for the stars, the choice was clear.

i am fully re-charged on this project 

and can't wait to get re-started!
