I'm making a hexie quilt for my grandma using Kaffe Fasset fabrics (she loves bright colors!) and various solids (Kona, Moda Bella, Shot Cottons, and Moda Crossweaves). I really hope 139 flowers will work out to make a nice lap sized quilt for her. The hexies are 1" on each side.
I have been in here a million times, and never "saw" the ceiling in this manner. It was the first thing Bella shot when I handed her the camera. After a couple of slightly fuzzy attempts, she requested that I steady her shoulders, so that she could hold the camera still and get a clear shot without using the flash. The result that you see here, caused me to get all kinds of choked up.
While she was doing this, the girl behind the counter asked her what she was going to be when she grows up, and without hesitating, she said, "An artist," very matter-of-factly.

I thought before I go to much further I would like to compare this typical Venetian scene captured in the QVB in Sydney and which so impressed me with my Amina Bella shot of 6 pics back . Both are images of picturesque restaurants taken looking across a canal with an arched stone bridge in the partial foreground with typical wrought iron railing and steps leading into the canal . The other feature common to both are they are pictured in early evening light with a person or persons outside . My image lacks the table and chairs so important to alfresco dining but picks up with the gondolier and his wonderful craft moored near by .
The overall ambience of the scene is what makes the appeal of the image and both have that in abundance I feel .
So it is interesting to compare ...
