I'm back and trying to get into the swing of things again. My ears are plugged from diving, so I feel like I"m in a fog. FFFC Challenge 53 has come and gone. Tromp l'oeil was the topic. At this late date there's no point in starting something, even if I did have the time. And I don't. I'm not too disappointed, I think it would have been a hard one for me to do.
Many people seem to have interpreted the challenge as just making something "photorealistic" which to me is not the point - it needs to actually "fool the eye" into thinking you are seeing something - a three-dimensional something - that isn't really there. There is one of a window that really meets the intent, in my opinion. This one could also work, if it were hung on a background like the background... it would have been cool to do just the jeans, in an irregular shape...
Anyway, I'm stressing about the secret block, which suffered over vacation, I had a big mess trying to sew it by hand, and spent several hours trying to add embroidery embellishment that I ended up hating and ripping out. I'm planning to beg for more time - unless a miracle occurs tomorrow or Thursday.
